Gala Puts Two in the Tank
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Thierry Morel raised it up in early position and was called by Maria Lampropoulos in middle position and Domenico Gala on the button. The flop came 9♠5♣2♥ and Morel continued with a bet of 4,000. Lampropoulos and Gala both called to see the 5♥ on the turn.
The action checked around on the turn and the 8♥ landed on the river. Morel and Lampropoulos checked again but Gala sized up a bet of 18,000. Morel thought for over a minute and finally decided to release his cards. Lampropoulos thought for just as long and eventually laid her hand down as well.
