One For the Defending Champ
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Phil Galfond opened from the cutoff with a raise to 5,000 and he was called by Barny Boatman in the small blind and Bryce Yockey in the big blind.
The flop was 
and action checked around to the 
on the turn. There, Boatman led out with a bet of 7,500 which both Galfond and Yockey called.
On the 
river, Boatman slowed down with a check. Yockey then put out a bet of 17,500 and Galfond folded. Boatman mulled it over a while too then folded as well, allowing the defending champion of this event to take down the pot and chip up to nearly 150,000.
