Sands Applies the Pressure
Level 10
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Phil Galfond opened for 28,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 77,000 by David "Doc" Sands on the button. The blinds both folded, Galfond made the call, and it was heads-up action to the 
flop. Galfond proceeded to check-call a bet of 64,000, and then checked the 
turn. Sands took his time before betting 87,000, and Galfond thought long and hard about what to do.
After utilizing a time extension, Galfond put in a call and then checked for a third time when the 
completed the board on the river. Sands took the opportunity to move all in, and Galfond snap-folded his hand.
