Dragan on Fire

Dragan Galic
Dragan Galic

Dragan Galic has pretty much been on fire this afternoon, winning pot after pot and moving his stack upward all day thus far. We just caught a couple of interesting hands in succession involving Galic.

The first was a hand in which he and a single opponent saw a ten-high flop, then Galic folded his {J-}{J-} face up to his opponent's bet. His opponent wouldn't show afterwards, but the consensus at the table suggested it wasn't a recommended fold.

Galic wasn't going to fold the next one, however. With the board showing {6-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, Jason Gray bet 10,000 into a 25,000-chip pot, and Galic raised all in. Gray called with his remaining stack.

Gray turned over {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for two pair, while Galic showed {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for the straight and flush draws. The turn was the {K-Hearts}, and Gray was still good. "Come on!" he said, hoping his hand would hold. Alas for him, the river was the {5-Hearts}, giving Galic the straight and sending Gray to the rail.

After the hand, Galic reaffirmed his commitment to that hand. "With this flop, I put in everything," he explained with a grin. "Everything! My car, my house, my wife... my second wife..."

Good to see he can commit to something. Galic now has 180,000.
