Antonio Galiana, winner of Event #3: 8-Handed No-Limit Hold’em for almost $600k
It took 4 days for a bracelet ceremony in Event #3: $5,000 8-Handed No-Limit Hold’em, and Spaniard Antonio Galiana was the big winner. He had to work his way through 693 entries to book his second bracelet, winning nearly $600k of the $3.1 million prize pool as well.
Along the way, Galiana had to overcome the heads-up chip lead of Canada’s Fred Normand, with Uri Reichenstein and Justin Liberto also at the final table. Galiana came into the final day of play with 5 players left holding the second biggest stack.
Galiana figured in the high-end of the game from the start. He bagged a top-ten stack after Day 1, and Day 2 saw him surge to the chip lead with 25 players left for Day 3.
He faced his biggest challenges of the game when he got heads up against Normand. The Canadian has more than $2 million in wins, including a WPT title, and had the chip lead. An audacious triple-barrel bluff from Galiana that saw Normand tank-fold after about 10 minutes got them even and gave Galiana momentum for the endgame.
Earlier, near the end of Day 3, Galiana left Uri Reichenstein nearly felted. He made a huge call on a draw-heavy board with just top pair, catching the lower pair of Reichenstein for a huge pot that left the Israeli with just 25k behind. That was one of the big hands that got Galiana to the final day with more than 8 million.
This may not be the last time we hear from Galiana this series — the player confirmed after the game that he plans to “play everything — probably up to the $25,000 events”.
