Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Lou Garza raised to 800,000 from the button holding A?Q?10?8?. Stanislav Halatenko then reraised to 2.8 million with A?7?6?4?. Garza came along.
The flop came J?10?J?, and Halatenko checked. Garza checked behind. The turn came 8? and Halatenko led out for 2.3 million. Garza took a bit of time before tossing in a call.
The A? hit the river, giving both players aces and jacks. The action went check-check, and Garza's higher kicker won him the pot and sent him to celebrate with his rail.
