MacDonald Forces Galfond to Fold

Level 1 : 1,000/2,000, 500 ante

Tom MacDonald raised from the button, Phil Galfond three-bet out of the big blind and MacDonald called.

The flop fell {5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Galfond checked to MacDonald who bet 25,000. Galfond called, the {A-Diamonds} turn fell and Galfond checked to MacDonald again who bet 70,000. Galfond called after a few moments to see the {J-Clubs} river and checked. MacDonald fired 160,000, sending Galfond into the tank for about 90 seconds before he folded.

Since Galfond took more than one minute to act, he had to surrender one of his timebank cards.
