Galfond Can't Get Away From It

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Phil Galfond raised to 28,000 from middle position, Bryce Yockey called on the button, and Rifat Palevic called in the big blind.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, and the action was checked to Galfond, who bet 30,000. Yockey folded, and Palevic check-raised to 180,000. Galfond thought for a moment and moved all in for 300,000. Palevic quickly called, and the cards were tabled.

Palevic: {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Galfond: {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}

Galfond needed to hit one of his kickers to stay alive, but the turn was the {a-Clubs}, and the river was the {k-Clubs}. Palevic's ten kicker was good enough to earn him the pot and eliminate Galfond.
