River Battle for the Ages
Johan Guilbert and Antonio Galiana were involved in a hand that started off innocently enough.
Guilbert, who had J?2?, and Galiana, who had 7?5?, checked down on a flop of 10?6?3?. They repeated the action after 8? appeared on the turn.
But buckle in, folks, because the 2? brought a flush on the board and plenty of fireworks in what would��ve been a chopped pot if both players tabled their hands without betting.
The two players clearly had other ideas, though.
Galiana led out with a 900,000 bet, which Guilbert pondered. After a brief moment, Guilbert came over the top with a 1,950,000 raise.
Galiana went into the tank, studying the board and his opponent as time passed. He then reached into his chip stack and announced a re-raise to 6,300,000.
That clearly wasn��t enough to end the action because it was Guilbert��s time to shine. Guilbert went back in the tank and grabbed a full barrel of 500,000 chips before moving forward for a re-raise of 10,000,000.
End of hand?
Hardly.
Galiana, leaning forward in his seat and shuffling chips in his right hand, then announced an all-in bet, which drew an immediate fold from Guilbert.
Galiana slammed his cards face up, triumphantly showing the 7?5? on the table.
To the victor belongs the spoils.
And in this battle of wills, Galiana stood tall.
