Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Joseph Galazzo
Joseph Galazzo

Patrick Serda raised to 75,000 from the cutoff and was called by joseph Galazzo and Samuel Taylor in the blinds.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, both Galazzo and Taylor checked to Serda who continued with a bet of 165,000 which only Galazzo called.

The turn brought them the {6-Spades}, Galazzo checked again and now Serda barreled a bet of 420,000 over the line. Galazzo used a time extension and then made the call.

The river completed the board with the {a-Clubs} Galazzo checked for the last time. Serda fired a bet of 1,900,000 over the line. Galazzo dived deep into the tank and used three time extenstion before making the call for his last 630,000 or so. Serda tabled {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for the turned set of sixes and rivered full house. Galazzo looked dejected and showed he held {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for trip aces to be eliminated in 25th place.

On the river with a board of {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{3-Spades} Brandon Hall checked it to Bin Weng on his left, who announced a bet. Hall tossed in a chip to call before Weng's chips hit the felt.

Grigoriy Shvarts

Brandon Hall: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} for Hall to hit the flop for a set of queens to eliminate Shvarts in 28th place for $19,886.
