Galilei and Michalak Cross the 300K Mark

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Frank Galilei

After Nai Gang Lin opened for 6,000 and the player in the hijack called, Frank Galilei three-bet to 15,000 from the button. The blinds both folded, the other two players called, and it was three-way action to the {8-Clubs}{k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop.

Lin, who was the chip leader earlier today, was first to act and moved all in for 31,000. The hijack folded, but Galilei called.

Galilei: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Lin: {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Lin had flopped an open-ended straight draw, but of course Galilei held two of his outs. Neither the {2-Spades} turn nor {3-Spades} river helped Lin, and he made a beeline for the door while Galilei chipped up to over 300K.

Meanwhile, John Michalak is also over 300K. No one on either Day 1a nor Day 1b ever crossed that mark.
