Galfond Picks Off a Bluff to Double Through Marchese

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Phil Galfond raised on the button, making it 7,000. In the big blind, Tom Marchese raised, making it 22,000. Galfond called.

The flop was {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Marchese checked. Galfond put out a bet of 15,000 and Marchese called.

The turn was the {Q-Hearts} and that prompted checks from both players. On the {7-Diamonds} river, Marchese thought about it for a bit, before piling all in, putting out a stack that was enough to put Galfond at risk for his 71,500. Galfond dropped into the tank. He used a time extension and thought all the way through it before he eventually decided to call.

Marchese flashed his hand quickly revealing {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} as his playing cards, but Galfond had it beat, making the call with {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} for two pair. Galfond would take down the pot and double while Marchese dropped under starting stack.
