Dan Cates raised to 18,000 from the cutoff, and was called by Phillip Hui on the button and Phil Galfond in the big blind.
Action checked to Cates on the 
flop, and he bet 25,000. Hui called, and Galfond potted it for 135,000. Cates folded, and Hui jammed to put Galfond at risk for the last 25,000 he had behind. Galfond called.
Phil Galfond: 
Phil Hui: 
Galfond's flopped straight held on the 
turn, and the river bricked off to give Galfond the double.
