Galfond Eliminated, No Longer Having Fun

Level 33 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Phil Galfond
Phil Galfond

With the board showing 859K and facing a check from Phil "HeyGuys" Galfond in the small blind, "HavingFun" bet 77,777 from the button. Galfond called.

The river came 10, and Galfond checked "HavingFun" went all in, which put Galfond all in to call. After using the majority of his time bank, Galfond called with K6. Galfond's top pair was not good enough to remain in the tourney, however, as "HavingFun" showed QJ for a straight.
