It took only two hands for James Gall to go from average stack to broke here on this final table of the Second Chance.
In the first hand, James opened from to 18,000 from the hijack position, and found calls from Ratharam Sivagnanam on the button and Andrew Hinrichsen in the small blind. He bet 32,000 on the 
board, and was flat called only by Ratharam. On the 
turn, he fired another 65,000, again called by Ratharam. On the 
river, he check-called a bet of 90,000, only to see his 
was second best to Ratharam’s 
.
On the very next hand, Ko Maddock moved all-in from middle position, and James committed the remainder of his chips, roughly 80,000.
