OMG! Galfond Moves On

Notch another scalp for the youth movement. Ahead in his match against Joe Hachem, Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond moved in for the kill. He tabled {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a pre-flop all-in confrontation against Hachem's {q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Galfond paired his ace on the flop, {10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{7-Spades}. Hachem couldn't find runners as the board finished out {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} to end his tournament in the Round of 64.

Galfond will return tomorrow for a Round of 32 match against the winner of ElkY-Young.
