On table 38, with the blinds at 10,000/20,000, Jason Galet, sitting in UTG+1 opened to 50,000 and had a flat call by Eric Hoevenaars two seats to his left. When action made it to Jason Teurquety in the big blind, he jammed his stack. Galet asked for a count, and once the dealer confirmed that it was for just over 600,000, Galet made the call and Hoevenaars folded his hand and got out of the way.
The situation was sweet as can be for Galet who was holding
, going against Teurquety’s
. The board ran out
and Galet’s pocket aces held as he added 600,000 from Teurquety plus the blinds and antes as well as 50,000 from Hoevenaars. Teurquety had been crushing the field throughout the entire tournament but was left totally crippled after this monster beat.
