Halatenko Keeps Aggression High; Galland Loses Loads
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.
