Abou Risk Tries to Put Galfond At Risk

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

It seems both Phil Galfond and Nick Abou Risk were able to take a few chips from Stewart Newman since the last time we visited Table 356, and the two just locked horns in a pot.

We caught the action on a {5-Spades}{q-Clubs}{a-Spades} flop when Galfond checked from the small blind and Abou Risk bet 2,500. Galfond made the call and then checked again when the {8-Diamonds} appeared on the turn. Abou Risk bet again, this time 6,600, but he couldn't shake Galfond. When the {3-Hearts} completed the board on the river, Galfond checked for a third time and Abou Risk moved all in for right around 35,000.

That time it worked as Galfond sent his cards to the dealer.
