Garza Extends Lead With Showdown Pot Versus Halatenko
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
In a limped blind battle, the J♦9♦5♣ flop was checked and the K♦ followed on the turn. Lou Garza bet 700,000 with the 10♠10♣8♠3♦ and Stanislav Halatenko called with the A♥4♦4♣2♠. The Q♦ fell on the river and Garza checked.
Halatenko bluffed with a bet worth 2,300,000 and Garza tank-called with the queen-high straight to further extend his lead.
After the hand was over, Garza started dancing towards his rail which kept chanting for the entire room to hear.
