Galfond Calls Costly River

Phil Galfond was in the cutoff and had called a raise to 5,000 from the player in the hijack with both the player in the button and the small blind following suit.

The flop came down {3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and all three players decided to check, bringing the {10-Diamonds} into play on the turn. At this time the small blind checked to the hijack who made a bet of 8,200, with Galfond being the only caller.

The river was the {a-Hearts} and the player in the hijack led out for 21,000. Galfond thought things over for some time before calling, but mucked when the hijack flipped over {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Galfond is down to 21,000 after losing that pot.
