and Stanford led out with a bet of 16,500. Galfond called and the 
landed on the river. Stanford fired out another bet of 36,000 and Galfond tanked for a couple of minutes before calling.

and Galfond was forced to give up his hand. Galfond did manage to double up his short stack shortly after but still remains a huge underdog.
At the table next door, Julien Martini slid out a turn bet of 11,000 on a board reading 
. Anthony Zinno called and the 
completed the board.
Martini checked this time and Zinno threw in a bet of 30,000. Martini check-raised to 80,000 which put Zinno in the tank for nearly five minutes. He eventually laid his hand down and Martini took a chip lead in their matchup.
