Galfond Eliminates Diaz

Level 3

Pot-Limit Omaha

We picked up the action on a {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop that Arturo Diaz checked. Phil Galfond bet 2,800, but saw Diaz pop it to 12,600. Galfond called, landing the {Q-Clubs} on the turn. Diaz fired 30,000, but was met with a Galfond raise to about 105,000. Diaz called all in for his remaining 55,000 or so, but saw the bad news when Galfond tabled {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for top set and a flush draw. Diaz had flopped top set, but he was now well behind with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. The river fell the {4-Diamonds}, ending Diaz's tournament.

Galfond, meanwhile, is up to about, 275,000.
