William Stanford Survives Three-Way All-In
Level 7
: 250/500, 75 ante
William Stanford was in the small blind with a bet of 5,150 in front of him. The player under the gun was all in for over 40,000. John Gallaher was all in for 9,000 in middle position. Stanford had about 18,000 behind and was contemplating the decision.
Stanford eventually called, and he and Gallaher were at risk.
Stanford: 
Under the gun: 
Gallaher: 
All the aces were out, and the flop came 
, giving the under-the-gun player a pair of queens and Stanford a Broadway draw. The 
turn gave Stanford the straight, and the 
river was insignificant.
Gallaher was eliminated with his pocket aces, and the other player matched Stanford's stack.
