Stanislav Halatenko Eliminated in 15th Place ($20,940)
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Stanislav Halatenko potted to 350,000 second-to-act. In the big blind, Thomas Koral repotted to 1,100,000, Halatenko was all-in for 1,325,000, and Koral called.
Stanislav Halatenko: A♣Q♠Q♦4♦3♦
Thomas Koral: A♥A♦J♠9♣8♠
The Q♥7♦4♣ flop gave Halatenko top set as well as the superior low draw. The 3♥ came on the turn, giving Halatenko another unwanted pair as Koral held the only qualifying low.
In brutal fashion, the A♠ fell on the river, giving Koral top set and live eight. It was the only scoop card in the entire deck, and Halatenko hit the exit after a gross bad beat.
