Galfond Triples Up

Guy Laliberté raised to 115,000 from under the gun and Phil Galfond reraised all in for 440,000 from the next seat. Tom Dwan made the call in the hijack seat and action folded back to Laliberté. He also called and Galfond had a chance to triple up.

The flop came down {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades} with Laliberté and Dwan still active. They both checked. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and they both checked again. The river was the {8-Hearts} and both checked again.

Dwan showed the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Laliberté the {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Galfond tabled the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for a set of eights and tripled up.
