Garen Galanti started the day with one of the smallest stacks in the tournament but has patiently waited and found his opportunity to double up.
Garen was on the button facing a utg raise to 10K from Michael Noor when action folded around to him. After a few seconds of consideration, he raised all-in for 43K. The blinds both folded and Michael asked for the initial 10K to be pulled in (bets aren’t normally pulled in at Playground but will be on request) and got the count of Garen’s remaining stack: 33K. He was a little hesitant, but he counted out the chips to make the call and a few moments later put them in the pot.
Garen:
Michael:
The board run out was perfect for Queens: and Garen’s stack was suddenly up to 99K.
