John Sozio Scoops A Huge Pot

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

With more than 30,000 chips already up for grabs and the flop reading {6-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, John Sozio sat still as a stone after betting 20,000. His opponent was deep in the tank while contemplating his decision and Sozio offered nothing in terms of a read. Holding only 32,000 chips at the time, calling Sozio's bet would effectively commit this player to the pot, and he decided to announce himself all-in.

Sozio instantly called and tabled the {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a flopped two-pair, and his opponent found himself trailing with the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. The turn offered no help, coming {K-Spades} and the {8-Hearts} on the river closed the door, giving Sozio the win with a full house.
