Phil Galfond Draws Thin to Down Paul Volpe

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 0 ante
Phil Galfond Flexing His Muscles in Round 3
Phil Galfond Flexing His Muscles in Round 3

Holding the {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, Phil Galfond hit a flush draw on the {8-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop, and he managed to get his stack in the middle on the come.

Unfortunately for Galfond, Paul Volpe also held clubs with {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, but when the {7-Spades} arrived on the turn he took an unlikely lead in the hand. The {5-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing, and with that Galfond earned an entrance into the Round of 32.
