Renniel Galvez

Renniel Galvez raised it up to 32,000 and Katsutoshi Watanabe called before he then proceeded to check-call three streets. On the J ♥️ 9 ♥️ 5 ♦️ 4 ♣️ turn it was for 70,000 and the 8 ♦️ river saw Watanabe check and face a shove for 160,000.

One time bank later, the player from Japan called and Galvez tabled the 9 ♠️ 9 ♣️ for a set of nines. Watanabe mucked, but pulled back the cards to show 10 ♥️ 10 ♣️ for a hero call gone wrong.
