Galloway Flops a Set to Burst the Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Action folded to a player on the button, and he limped in, before James Galloway in the small blind raised 30,000. The big blind folded, and the player on the button made the call.
The flop came Q♥8♣3♣ and Galloway moved all in for the buttons last 42,000, which he snap called.
Button: A♠Q♠
James Galloway: 8♠8♥
The button flopped top pair but was crushed by the set of eights from Galloway. The board ran out A♦ on the turn to give him outs to make a full house, but the river brought the J♠ and Galloway scooped the pot, eliminating his opponent.
There were two other all in and calls at nearby tables, but the all-in players survived, meaning the 28 remaining players have all made the money and Day 2.
