<Insert "OMG" Joke Here>

Phil Galfond just took an unfortunate but common beat. Galfond got his money in good on a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

and was called by a slightly shorter stack. Galfond showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

which was ahead of the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

of his opponent.

Galfond looked to chip up and send a player home, but the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

on the turn spoiled those plans. The river hit both players coming the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

but Galfond's trips queens came up short against his opponent's full house. He slipped to just under 4,000 chips on the hand.
