Stanislav Halatenko opened to 1,200,000 out of the small blind with the A♣K♦10♠3♥ and Arthur Morris defended the A♠K♣6♦2♥. The J♠J♦6♠ flop saw Halatenko check and Morris bet 500,000 to win the pot uncontested.
A few hands later, Halatenko raised to 1,000,000 on the button with the K♥Q♠Q♣8♣ and Lou Garza defended the Q♦J♦10♥9♥. The A♦8♠2♥ flop was checked by Garza and Halatenko continued for 700,000, earning a call from Garza.
With 4,000,000 in the middle to the K♠ turn, Garza checked his broadway draw and Halatenko bet the full pot. Garza went deep into the tank and eventually sent his cards into the muck.
