Galindo and Hutchinson Clash

Level 4 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

It's been a slow start for both Dean Hutchinson and Humberto Lopes Galindo, who have both dropped down the pecking order from their initial starting stack of 100,000.

The two just played a pot together on a board of A?8?Q? with 12,000 in the middle where Hutchinson check-called a bet on the flop to see the 10? on the turn. Again, Hutchinson went into check-call mode when Galindo bet 8,800.

A 10? filled out the board on the river and after Hutchinson checked, Galindo bet 26,100, leaving himself just 100 behind. Hutchinson thought for a while but thought better of it and folded, allowing Galindo to rake in the pot.

His previous best score before this comes from an eighth-place finish in the 2022 Merit Poker Retro Series Main Event for $30,255.
