Good Luck Goes Bad For Gallaher

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

BrandonTemple

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

John Gallaher found himself $500 richer after winning a nightly drawing in the casino, and by the time he came back, his table had broke and he made it just in time for his big blind. As Gallaher recounted to us, however, he wishes he just paid the 2,000 for missing the big blind instead of getting this hand.

A player limped in from early position, and a middle position player raised to 10,000, announcing, "Let's play some poker!" as he did. Gallaher three-bet shoved for 72,000 in the big blind, and action folded back to the middle position player, who called off for 37,000 total.

Opponent:
John Gallaher:

Gallaher's opponent gambled with the ten-nine, but was shocked to see Gallaher wake up with aces on his first hand at the table. The flop contained a ten for Gallaher's opponent, and although the turn was a blank, the river gave Gallaher's opponent trips, and left Gallaher down a chunk of his stack in his first hand at the new table.
