Jonathan Alfonso moved all in preflop and the action folded to chip leader James Galloway who mulled it over for a few seconds before he made the call to put him at risk.
Alfonso: A♣Q♠
Galloway: 9♣10♦
Alfonso was in the lead with his ace-queen, but the flop was not his friend as it came out 9♦8♥3♦ to give Galloway top pair. The runout of 6♦2♣ failed to provide Alfonso with any help and he was eliminated in 10th place.
