Dragan Loses Steam

Oops, sorry Dragan. Didn't mean to jinx you.

We counted him at 235,000 just a minute ago, putting him atop the field and posting him as the chip leader. But by the time we got back over to his table, he had less than 80,000 of that left, and he was slinging chips around once again in a contested pot.

Galic had opened with a raise under the gun, and a player two seats over had three-bet to about 9,000. The amounts aren't clear, but there was about 21,000 in the pot when the action came back to Galic, and he elected to re-raise an additional 17,800 on top.

The move would take his opponent aback as he tried to eye up Galic's remaining chips. English is the only language allowed at the table during hands, and the unknown player struggled to ask Galic if he would show his cards. It took about two minutes and six or seven players from three different tables to finally clarify the question, and Galic agreed to show his cards pending a fold.

His opponent quickly did just that, open-mucking {A-?} {Q-?}, and Galic showed {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades} as he pulled in some chips that he actually does need now. That little pot will pull him back up close to 100,000, but it's a long climb back to his former stack.
