Gallo Flops a Boat
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
When it folded to Giulio Gallo in the small blind, he jammed for around 44,000 with just Nikolay Fal to get through in the big blind. Fal looked at his cards and then made the call to put Gallo at risk.
Giulio Gallo: A♣8♥ 
Nikolay Fal: 4♠4♥
Gallo found himself in a flip with ace-eight against the sailboats of Fal. The dealer fanned out a flop of A♠A♥8♠ to give Gallo a full house, and only runner-runner quads would see him bust.
Fal was drawing dead after the Q♥ arrived on the turn, as the 6♥ river was just a necessity.
Gallo doubled to roughly 100,000, and Fal was down to 145,000.
