OMG, He Busted

The blind level going up was too much for Phil Galfond's stack. He made his move with {8-Hearts}{6-Spades} for his last 5.5 big blinds and was called by his opponent holding {j-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

The board ran {q-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} improving neither player.

As we were writing this post Justin Smith walked by out desk and informed us he won his match.
