Cassidy Ropes in Galfond

Stud

Cassidy - {a-Clubs} {a-Diamonds} / {7-Hearts} {a-Spades} {2-Spades} {5-Diamonds} / {q-Clubs}
Galfond - [X]-[X] / {9-Clubs} {k-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {j-Hearts} / [X]

Joe Cassidy's crafty check-call on fourth street may have earned him several extra bets in a pot against Phil Galfond. John Hanson completed on third street with a ten before Cassidy raised and Galfond re-raised. Only Cassiy called the re-raise.

Cassidy check-called fourth street, then check-raised fifth street. Galfond called that raise, then called additional bets on sixth and seventh street. At showdown, he saw the bad news -- Cassidy had three aces.
