"May $100,000 GTD:" It's Clean Livin' For Gallegos At The Moment

"May $100,000 GTD"
$150 No Limit Hold'em Deep Stack
Level 19 (Blinds 4,000/8,000/1,000)
Total Entries: 1,169
Players Remaining: 118


Jose Gallegos (Norristown, PA)

Jose Gallegos (Norristown, PA) started the day with 191,000, and was in a group of about (50) players to begin the day above the chip average.  He has steadily increased his stack over the first few levels of the day, with his most recent hand a basic "snapshot" of what his day has been like.  After a limp in front of him, Gallegos made a sizable three-bet to 32,000.  Action then folded behind to one of the shorter stack players at the table, who shoved all-in for less.  The original limper released his holdings, and it would be Gallegos' Q 10♠ up against the 5♣ 5♠ of the short stack.

"I had you crushed," said the original limper, as the table watched the dealer fan out the 8♣ 9♣ J♠ flop, with Gallegos flopping the nuts.  Jose would have his opponent drawing dead on the turn, and after picking up the pot, would be over 410,000.  "I bet you're glad you didn't call with the king-ten," Gallegos said to his table mate, as he smiled and raked in the chips.
