Hays Wins Huge Double Off Halatenko
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
In a four-bet pot with 325,000 each in the middle to the Q♦10♣2♣ flop, Antonin Hays bet 130,000 from under the gun. Stanislav Halatenko then pushed all-in from the small blind and Hays called with a near identical stack size to create a massive pot.
Antonin Hays: A♥A♦
Stanislav Halatenko: A♣4♣
The nut flush draw of Halatenko missed on the 2♦ turn and K♦ river for Hays to double for 1,040,000.
Halatenko was down to 30,000 after the hand and jammed the button with A♠5♥, Hays called from the big blind without looking and exposed the 5♣4♠. The 7♠6♣6♦2♣Q♦ runout kept Halatenko in the mix for now.
