Galfond Grabs Another

Action began with the under-the-gun player open limping. The player directly behind him also limped and it was folded around to the small blind, who completed. Phil Galfond checked his option from the big for a four-handed pot.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Galfond took the initiative by leading out for 4,200. The original limper folded, however, the second limper called. The player in the small also folded, which meant it was heads-up going to the turn.

The turn brought the {A-Clubs} and Galfond deliberated a bit before pushing out a bet of 10,300 into the middle. His last remaining opponent quickly folded and Galfond scooped the pot.

Galfond is sitting on 250,000.
