Galfond Eliminated by Capitan

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

After a raise to 25,000 and two calls including Bogdan Capitan, Phil Galfond in the small blind raised the pot to 137,000 and that forced folds all the way to Capitan in the cutoff, who ended up as the only caller.

On the {K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, Galfond moved all in for his last 220,000 and Capitan snap-called.

Phil Galfond: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Bogdan Capitan: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

They only ran it once and Galfond was in need of an ace or running straight cards. The {J-Spades} turn left Galfond drawing to an ace only, while the {J-Hearts} river was not enough. Despite improving to a runner-runner full house, Galfond was eliminated and Capitan jumped above one million in chips.
