Big Stax 1100 (Day 3): Most Excitement We've Had In A While

Level 27 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)
Total Entries: 428
Players Remaining: 8
Chip Average: 2,675,000

It took a long time, but we finally had out first dramatic moment in a while at the final table.  After Joseph Galazzo opened the pot to 120,000 and players folded to the button, Ideal Morina three-bet to 325,000.  The blinds quickly released, and action would be back on Galazzo, who would four-bet to 1,125,000.

Morina would then go in the tank for a solid five minutes, with the other players at the table getting up from their seats one by one.  First it would be Tom Maguire standing by the tournament podium, then David Novak would get up and stretch his legs, and Travis Greenwalt even decided to follow suit and leave the table.  While this was going on, Morina was cutting out chips, and piling them up, before breaking them back down.  This repeated a few times before he made the call, and the table commented on a moment of excitement finally happening.

Before the dealer placed down the flop, Galazzo asked Ideal what his stack size was...but didn't get an answer.  The flop came out 4♣ 6♠ 5♠, and Joseph immediately announced that he was all-in.  Morina thought about it once again (not as long as before), but eventually folded.  Galazzo added the 2,700,000 chips to his stack, and now assumes the final table chip lead.
