Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Oswin Ziegelbecker raised from middle position to 200,000 and Stanislav Halatenko in the big blind defended.

The flop came 10♠Q♥A♥ and Halatenko check-called a bet of 150,000 from Ziegelbecker.

The 6♣ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Ziegelbecker betting 550,000.

The river landed the 9♥ and the hand checked to a showdown.

Halatenko was first to show as he tabled A♣10♥9♦4♣ for two pair which prompted Ziegelbecker to muck his cards.

Stanislav Halatenko	11,800,000 900,000	900,000

Halatenko Keeps Aggression High; Galland Loses Loads

Christian Zetzsche

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Stanislav Halatenko raised to 200,000 on the button for Benoit Galland and Oswin Ziegelbecker to call out of the blinds. On the 9♠9♦5♣ flop, the action checked to Halatenko and his continuation bet for 275,000 was called only by Galland.

The 6♦ turn brought another check-call by Galland for 700,000 and that led them to the 8♣ river. Galland checked the third street in a row and Halatenko now bet 1,000,000. The Canadian double-checked his cards twice, took one minute to consider his next move and then folded.

"Good hand," Galland said as he tapped the table and Halatenko just nodded.

Halatenko kept his food on the gas pedal and raised to 200,000 in the cutoff. Galland and Ziegelbecker called for Ap Garza in the big blind to then raise the pot to 1,000,000. Only Galland called as a duo headed to the A♠J♥6♠ flop.

Garza moved all in and Galland folded to take another hit to his stack prior to the dinner break.

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

In a blind vs blind battle the board read J♥5♦10♦.

Kosei Ichinose in the small blind checked the action to Ren Lin in the big. Lin bet out for 90,000 and Ichinose called.

The J♦ on the turn checked through to the K♥ on the river.

Ichinose took the lead and bet out for 105,000. Lin raised to 660,000, the size of the pot. Ichinose spent several minutes in the tank before finally deciding to fold.

"Phew" Lin comically sighed as he raked in the pot.

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Peng Shan raised to 190,000 preflop from the cutoff. Dylan Weisman then moved all in for 640,000 from the small blind, and Shan called.

Dylan Weisman: A♥Q♠6♠2♦
Peng Shan: Q♦10♥10♣9♠

Shan held the lead with his tens, and maintained that lead on the K♦5♣4♦ flop. The 6♦ turn and 5♥ river did not improve Weisman's hand, and he exited in 14th.

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ka Kwan Lau raised and earned calls from Stanislav Halatenko as well as Oswin Ziegelbecker, the latter of which was in the big blind. They checked the A♥10♦8♦ flop and Ziegelbecker bet the 4♠ turn for 500,000, which only Lau called.

Both then checked the 3♣ river and Ziegelbecker flashed his J♦10♣7♦6♣ for a pair of tens, which had missed two gutshots and a flush draw.

"I have two pair," Lau announced and his Q♠Q♦8♠4♦ won the pot.

Shortly after on the same table, Halatenko raised to 200,000. Ap Garza raised the pot to 720,000 and it folded back to the initial raiser. Halatenko announced pot, which was a four-bet to 2,280,000. Garza tanked for a minute and let go.
