Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Joachim Haraldstad raised to 160,000 on the button and Humberto Lopes Galindo defended from the big blind. The flop came {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Galindo check-called a bet of 100,000 from Haraldstad.

The {q-Diamonds} landed on the turn and both players checked to the {k-Clubs} on the river. Galindo checked again and Haraldstad splashed in a bet of 275,000. Galindo mulled it over and eventually called. Haraldstad showed {k-Spades}{7-Clubs} for top pair and Galindo was unable to beat it.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jack Maskill
Jack Maskill

Jack Maskill opened to 160,000 in the cutoff and Humberto Lopes Galindo three-bet shoved all in from the big blind. Maskill dropped in some chips to call and the cards were tabled.

Jack Maskill: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Humberto Lopes Galindo: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip but Galindo took a huge lead on the {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop with a set of nines. The {2-Spades} on the turn locked up the pot for Galindo but the {9-Clubs} on the river gave him quads for good measure. The stacks were counted and it was Maskill who was at risk for just over 1,700,000 and Galindo had him slightly covered.

Gerard Cortes: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
