Kanit Pays Off Galindo

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 800 ante

Humberto Lopes Galindo was on the button and heads up with Mustapha Kanit in the big blind. There was 12,000 in the middle with the board reading {a-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. Kanit checked to Galindo who made a small bet of 1,300 and Kanit called.

The river was the {7-Spades} and the two players quickly got all of their chips in the middle with Galindo being the one at risk for 23,700. Kanit turned over {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for trip aces but Galindo held {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for a full house to double up.

Viliyan Petleshkov: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Isabel Baltazar: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Petleshkov flopped a gutshot straight draw on {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, but the turn {3-Spades} and river {9-Diamonds} remained clean, resulting in Petleshkov's exit from the tournament.
