Event 1 Day 1E: Galan Floats a Boat

$100 + $25 No Limit Hold’Em Deep Stack

Only six tables remain yet the action is still non-stop with multiple big pots around the room. Our attention was caught with a call of “come get this guy’s picture!”.

Charles Galan was all-in with a hand that was dominated pre-flop but was best when the chips went in. He was holding Qc 8d on the Qh Th 8s against Jd Td and Qs Jc leaving his opponents with more outs to the chop than a win. The 5c turn did not improve the other two and the 8c gave Galan the full house for a near triple up.

While that hand was going on, the battle of the Kesslers came to an end with the elimination of Zach when his pocket Jacks were outflopped by Q9. Kessler the elder has built up his stack along the way and is one the leaders with 160,000.

Level 10 is underway with blinds at 500/1k/100 ante and less the 54 players remaining.
