Paul Gianfriddo Doubles Up

Paul Gianfriddo moved all in pre-flop for his remaining 1,250 and got a single caller. Gianfriddo showed {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} which was slightly ahead of the {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs} of his opponent. The flop helped neither player, but the {A-Hearts} gave Gianfriddo all the help he needed to survive the hand and double up to about 2,800 chips.
