Zakhar Galper Eliminated in 18th Place ($10,918)
Pot-Limit Omaha
Action started with a min-raise from Joseph Dulaney in the cutoff, which Xixiang Luo called on the button. Zakhar Galper was in the small blind and he decided to three-bet to 450,000. Dulaney and Luo both called.
The flop came 5♠4♠4♣. Galper was first to act and went all in for 600,000 chips. Dulaney folded and Luo though for a little while. He decided to call.
Zakhar Galper: A♠A♥8♦4♦
Xixiang Luo: K♥10♣2♥2♣
Galper was way ahead with trip fours, while Luo held the open-ended straight draw. However, the two remaining aces would also make Galper a full house, so Luo was only drawing to four sixes and running cards.
Luo picked up additional outs on the 9♣ turn, improving to a flush draw. However, it was the 6♠ that brought in Luo’s straight and sent Galper to the rail in a very unlucky fashion.
