We only came to the table on the river, but we saw that a gigantic pot had developed between Phil Galfond and Bryan Vanrijsbergen. There was already 80,000 in the middle, and the board read 
. Galfond had fired out 53,500, but he was the one making a decision, as Vanrijsbergen had moved all in for around 200,000.

Vanrijsbergen didn't say anything, and eventually, Galfond folded. Vanrijsbergen leaned back in his chair, and let out a big sigh of relief. Galfond told him nice hand, and left to take his break.

for the better pair.
