Galitskiy Doubles Through O'Neill

Level 13 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jack O'Neill
Jack O'Neill

Mikhail Galitskiy raised to 10,000 from the early position, James Romero called from mid-position. Jack O'Neill three-bet to 35,000 from the hijack which was only called by Galitskiy.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, Galitskiy check-called the 28,000 continuation-bet of O'Neill.

The {4-Clubs} was dealt on the turn on which they both checked to see the {4-Diamonds} complete the board on the river. Galitskiy bet 38,000 and O'Neill responded with a shove having Galitskiy slightly covered. Galitskiy called for the 152,000 he had behind with {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the flopped two pair. O'Neill had {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for the two pair on the board with the ace-kicker in his hand.

After paying Galitskiy, O'Neill was left with a few big blinds and lost them shortly after.
