Galfond Doubles, Still In Bad Shape

[user198174]

Phil Galfond has been on life support for awhile, sitting with around 3,000 chips. In a recent hand we managed to be walking by as a player from middle position made a 700 chip bet preflop that happened to fold around to Galfond in the big blind who opted to move all in. A call was made and cards were tabled.

Galfond: {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}
Opponent: {A-} {6-}

The cards came out {j-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {j-Clubs} and Galfound managed to hold on and double up, putting him around a meekly 5,000 chips.
