Galfond Stays Alive

Phil Galfond was down to just 30,400 chips and found a hand to get them all in the middle. William Stanford quickly called and the cards were on their backs.

Phil Galfond: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
William Stanford: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The flop of {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} provided no immediate help for Galfond. However, the {9-Hearts} on the turn gave him a straight draw to chop and a straight draw to win. It was the {10-Spades} on the river that gave Galfond the only straight and a double up.
