Galiani's Squeeze Leads to Bust

Matt Warburton

Level 17 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

A player who goes by the alias Legoduri opened the action with a raise to 12,000. He was called by the button before Garcia Galiani squeezed all in from big blind. Legoduri called and the button folded, meaning two players showed their cards for the all in.

Garcia Galiani: J♥10♥
Legoduri: A♣Q♣

The board ran out 5♥7♥2♣Q♠8♠, giving Galiani a flush draw on the flop. He whiffed the turn and river, however, and Legoduri paired up his queen to take down the pot. Galiani was eliminated from the tournament.
