Deeb vs. Galfond

No-Limit Hold'em

The action folded to Shaun Deeb on the button, and he raised to 25,000. Phil Galfond tank-called in the big blind, and the flop fell {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. Galfond checked, Deeb continued for 36,000, and Galfond called.

The turn was the {k-Hearts}, and Galfond checked again. Deeb fired a second bullet - this one was worth 92,000 - and Galfond tank-called.

The river was the {9-Hearts}, and Galfond tanked before leading for 160,000 - leaving around 150,000 behind. Deeb paused, then raised to 400,000 (effectively 310,000). Galfond sat back in his chair, put his hands on his head, and proceeded to tank for ten minutes. He eventually mucked, and Deeb showed the {a-Hearts}.

Two hands later, Deeb opened to 25,000 from the hijack seat, Galfond moved all in for 138,500 on the button and Deeb called.

Deeb: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Galfond: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Galfond held as the board ran {j-Clubs}{q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, doubling to 305,000 chips.
