Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
One hand after his stack was reduced to a single big blind, Stanislav Halatenko was in the small blind. Lou Garza limped the button with the K♠Q♣8♥2♠ and Halatenko moved all-in for 650,000 out of the small blind with the K♥Q♥8♦4♥.
Arthur Morris called with the Q♠Q♦J♣10♥ and Garza came along, too. The two active players checked the 9♠6♥3♠ flop and the 7♣ turn. On the 5♠ river, Garza improved to a flush and his bet of 1,000,000 was not called by Morris.
Halatenko's tournament concluded with a third-place finish for $570,307 and the two remaining players are now on a break prior to the heads-up duel for the WSOP gold bracelet.
