Gall Doubles Through Hiew in a Massive Confrontation
PokerNews was called over to a table with a big confrontation developing.
In a heads up pot with 2,000,000 chips already in the middle on a flop reading Q?J?8?, Kelly Gall was first to act and did so by over-bet jamming his 2,730,000 chips into Graham Hiew.
Hiew entered the tank and spent a few minutes there, eventually deciding that he wasn't buying what Gall was selling and making the call to send the duo to a runout with Gall at risk.
Kelly Gall: A?A?
Graham Hiew: K?Q?
With 7,000,000 chips on the line and two cards to come, Gall needed to fade kings and queens, but when the turn came the K?, it looked like Gall was headed for the exit.
Then, in a hand that became a roller coaster of emotion for both players, the 8? landed on the river and shifted the checkmark back to Gall, securing him a massive double and rocketing him up towards the top of the chip counts.
