John Gallaher stopped and told us about a hand just before dinner break that helped him double up just after re-entering the tournament. In the hand, the small blind raised to 2,600, and John Gallaher called in the big blind.
On the 
flop, the small blind bet 3,000, and Gallaher called.
The 
fell on the turn, and the small blind bet 7,000. Gallaher called again.
The 
hit the river, and the small blind checked. Gallaher jammed for 18,000, and the small blind tank-called with 
for eights and fives with an ace. Gallaher had that beat with his 
, however, and he doubled up.
