Gallaher Doubles Twice; Leaves Reichenstein Short

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
John Gallaher
John Gallaher

John Gallaher shoved 640,000 and Uri Reichenstein called.

John Gallaher: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Uri Reichenstein: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

The flop came {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, giving Reichenstein a set and Gallaher the nut flush. Reichenstein couldn't find a paired board as it completed with the {2-Diamonds} on the turn and the {q-Hearts} on the river.

Only a couple of hands later Gallaher shoved again, this time for 1,430,000 and it was Reichenstein who called again.

John Gallaher: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Uri Reichenstein: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

It was yet again another coinflip and Gallaher flopped the nuts when it came {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. The {5-Clubs} on the turn meant Reichenstein was drawing dead and the {q-Spades} on the river was just a formality.
