Galfond Eliminated, No Longer Having Fun
Level 33
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
With the board showing 8♦5♦9♥K♣ and facing a check from Phil "HeyGuys" Galfond in the small blind, "HavingFun" bet 77,777 from the button. Galfond called.
The river came 10♥, and Galfond checked "HavingFun" went all in, which put Galfond all in to call. After using the majority of his time bank, Galfond called with K♥6♥. Galfond's top pair was not good enough to remain in the tourney, however, as "HavingFun" showed Q♠J♠ for a straight.
