Big Stack Pressure

Adam Hourani raised to 150,000 from the button, and David Benyamine quickly called in the small blind. Galfond took a minute to think, then looked up at the dealer and said "Raise the pot." The raise was to 600,000.

Hourani counted out 600,000, but decided against it and folded. Benyamine called.

The flop came {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Benyamine checked, Galfond bet enough to put Benyamine all in, and Benyamine folded.

That was a significant hit to Benyamine's stack. He's down under a million now.
