Galindo the bullet dodger

A life saved - the bullet-dodging hand

Jose Galindo is breathing a sigh of relief after dodging his tournament death at the hands of Pawel Zawadowicz's Aces.

The Pole had limped utg with a masterplan and it seemed Galindo would oblige as he shove with A♥10♠. The cherry on top was the call of big stack Rumen Nanev in the big blind, giving Pawel the chance to push all-in himself.

He couldn't get a call from the chip leader but he certainly got a fright from the flop, as it came a monotone 5♥J♥3♥. The 2♦ briefly has Galindo celebrating but his gasp of despair returned to joy when the 10♥ hit the river.

The incredible hand sees Galindo treble up to around 350,000 and the relief was plain to see as he celebrated the unlikely victory.
