The action folded around to Bradley Lipsey in the small blind and at last there was someone who wanted to tango with Weissman. Lipsey making it 90,000 and Weissman calling. The flop was
and Lipsey checked to Weissman who stared in his direction. After getting some sort of a read from Lipsey's grey hood, Weissman decided to bet 90,000. Back to Lipsey and he moved all-in and Weissman quickly called.

![Michael Gagliano - 7th](https://s.pnimg.net/L4Pg-m7y9VlQIn2yrjO01EY72lHjqp4-m6AeOsTd4-Q/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC8x/ODIyLzU4L3g5Y2Fk/MWVlZTExLmpwZw.webp)
Michael Gagliano had only just doubled up when he found himself in another milestone of a hand. Let's take a peek at what happened.
Bradley Lipsey raised to 85,000 in first position, Joey Weissman made the call from his left shoulder and Michael Gagliano made the call in the big blind. The flop was
and the action checked through to Weissman who bet 125,000. Gagliano was next and he tanked before check-raising to 300,000. The grey-hooded Lipsey laid it down and the original bettor, Weissman, raised it up to 495,000!
There was a silence surrounding the table as the voyeurs realised that this pot was pretty serious. Gagliano riffled his newly won chips and pondered his next move. About two minutes elapsed before Gagliano moved all-in and Weissman called.

Gagliano | ![]() ![]() |
So Gagliano revealed top pair with a jack kicker and Weissman had him crushed with top two pair. The turn was the and Weissman turned to his fans - who were delirious - and moved his forearm back and fore in delight. The rather irrelevant
was dumped onto the felt and the gracious Gagliano embraced Weissman before leaving in 7th place.

Philip Meulyzer started off this recent hand by raising from late position. Michael Gagliano's response was to move all in for around 450,000. Next up was Bradley Lipsey who moved all in for around 1,900,000. Meulyzer folded and cards were tabled.
Gagliano:
Lipsey:
The flop came and Lipsey hit a set of kings, but it wasn't over yet, Gagliano still had a straight draw. The
on the turn gave Gagliano the open-ended straight draw, so now any queen or any eight would put the hand in Gagliano's favor.
The river did indeed complete Gagliano's straight and he doubled up.

Joey Weissman made a standard raise from the cutoff and Joshua Pedraza defended his big blind. The flop was
and we missed the action but understand there was a bet and call from one of the players. On the turn we saw the
and Pedraza check-raised to 300,000 after Weissman had bet 140,000. Weissman called pretty quickly and we were soon looking at the
on the river. Pedraza then surprised everyone by moving all-in and Weissman made what looked like the easiest call of his life. Literally, seconds later Weissman was flipping over a pair of aces for the boat and Pedraza mucked his hand and left his seat��he was out! The dealer turned his cards face up to show
for the insides of a balloon.
