Impromptu Bathroom Break While Galfond Tanks
With the board reading on the river, Sam Stein moved all-in for 30,250 into the 29,000 pot. His opponent, Phil Galfond, started to tank and told the table he'd need a "couple of minutes" to make his decision. Believing they had enough time to make it there and back while Galfond tanked, tablemates Juha Helppi and Isaac Haxton took off for the restroom.
When they returned a few minutes later, Galfond was still tanking. Finally, he made the call.
Stein showed for eights full of threes and Galfond mucked. He's down to 58,000 while Stein is now on 90,000 in chips.
