Gallo All In

Jose Miguel Espinar has the button in Seat 3.

He folds, and Lisandro Gallo starts things off with a raise to 100,000. Alex Brenes moves all in and Gallo quickly makes the call. He has right around 400,000 in chips remaining and they all go into the middle.

Gallo: {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}
Brenes: {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts}

The flop draws a huge roar from the spectators, as it comes out {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. Gallo comes storming from behind to take the lead with a pair of fives. The turn is the {7-Clubs} and the river is the {4-Spades}, blanks for Brenes.

Despite getting it in with a dominated hand, Gallo earns a double-up courtesy of Alex Brenes, and he now sits with 840,000 in chips.
