Galic vs. Martin: Dragan Galic Slays Jesse Martin

[user66118]

Dragan Galic has just completed a nice comeback victory to eliminate Jesse Martin. Early in the match, Galic had flopped a flush on a queen-high all-heart flop. He ended up getting Martin all in with just top pair, but the foe would runner-runner a full house to knock Galic back under 40,000.

Galic battled back into the chip lead over the course of the next few levels, and Jesse Martin would find himself all in with {K-Hearts}

against Galic's {J-Spades}

. The board would run {J-Diamonds}

, and Galic has come all the way back to knock off Martin.

After the final hand, there was an abundance of joy from Galic. He shook Martin's hand and congratulated him on the hard-fought battle. Martin didn't stick around long though. After waiting for his defeated opponent to get out of earshot, Galic pumped his fists several times, quietly yelling, "Yes! Yes! What a match. Wow, what a match!" He and the dealer exchanged conversation for a few minutes before the jolly amateur went over to collect his ticket for Round 4.

Jason Senti Advances

[user66118]

Erik Seidel was all in before the flop for just about 40,000 holding {K-Clubs}

. Jason "PBJaxx" Senti looked him up with {A-Hearts}

.

The flop was a mixed bag for Seidel, coming {7-Clubs}

. He had flopped the flush draw, but Senti was still leading with two pair. The {9-Hearts}

on the turn ended all of the drama, improving PBJaxx to the winning full house and sending Erik Seidel out the door.

Senti showed some class this afternoon when he waited about 10 minutes for Seidel to show up. The staff instructed the dealers to blind off the absent players, but Senti simply capped his cards and sat patiently. That good karma has come back around to Senti apparently, as he will advance to the Round of 32.
