On a flop of {7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, Phil Galfond bet 9,000 out of the small blind into a pot of more than 40,000 and his sole remaining opponent, Eddie Ochana, raised it up to 38,000 from under the gun. Galfond elected to fold and Ochana claimed the pot.

Galfond raised the next hand to 7,000 on the button and Ochana called, then check-folded to a bet of 7,000 on the {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop.

One hand later, Galfond had raised again from the cutoff, Ben Yu in the big blind check-called a bet of 7,000 by Galfond on the {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop. Both checked the {10-Spades} turn and Yu checked the {3-Diamonds} on the river.

Galfond bet 14,000 and received the call to show {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} for a full house to build his stack.
