Ivan Galinec Eliminated in 9th Place ($56,044)
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Short-stacked Ivan Galinec got all 1,375,000 of his chips into the middle preflop against chip leader Leo Taffe to put himself at risk.
Ivan Galinec: 10♣10♦
Leo Taffe: J♠J♦
Ivan Galinec was in rough shape going into this battle with the inferior pair, and the flop of 9♦K♠J♣ was not his friend as it gave Taffe a set of jacks, although it did leave Galinec with a gunshot straight draw. Unfortunately, the runotu of 8♦A♦ did not do it for him and he was sent to the rail in 9th place.
