The completed the board on the river and Gallagher declared himself all in for 1,750,000, which covered his opponent. Gilligan tanked for several minutes.

He then said, "I think I am too big of a fish to fold," before speculating that his opponent had ace-king or ace-queen for the full house.

Gilligan eventually called, mucked his hand, and was eliminated in 10th place for €4,750 after Gallagher turned over for the full house.
