Going, Going, Galusha

We pick up a three-handed pot between Ari Engel, Tom Galusha, and Jeffrey Bryan. On the flop, the board read {8-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {2-Spades}. Engel checked, and Galusha bet 15,000, nearly half of his stack. Bryan made the call after a few moments, and "BodogAri" let his hand go.

Heads up now, the turn brought the {10-Hearts}. Galusha checked, and Bryan put him all in with a bet of 21,000. Galusha thought for a minute, flipping his cards back and forth between his fingers on the felt. Finally, he spoke.

"Well, I'm not gonna second guess. If you were lucky enough to catch a deuce..." With that, he made the call, all in for his tournament life.

"You got me," lamented Bryan, tabling {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}. Galusha turned over {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}, and he was one card away from a double-up. The blank {4-Hearts} hit the river, and Bryan sends a big chunk of chips across the table to Tom Galusha.
