Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

According to a player who witnessed the action, Billyray Gallegos limped and Justin Barnum squeezed to 8,500. Gallegos called.

The flop fell {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Barnum jammed for approximately 29,000. Gallegos went into the tank.

The {7-Hearts} and {10-Clubs} completed the board to confirm the pot for Barnum. Meanwhile, Gallegos continues his attempt to make another deep run, as he did only a couple of weeks ago.
