Nível 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Arthur Morris faced a raise to 750,000 by Stanislav Halatenko in a battle of the blinds and called with A♠K♠8♣2♥. That made a full house on the 8♥8♠2♣ flop while Halatenko's J♣10♦6♦5♠ had complete air. Both checked to the 9♠ turn on which Halatenko bet 1,000,000 and Morris called.

The J♥ fell on the river and Halatenko checked, then folded when Morris bet 375,000 into 3,750,000.
