Suck, Re-Suck for Galfond

Phil Galfond called his opponent's all in with A-J vs. K-Q. The Q-T-8 flop put his opponent ahead with a pair of queens, but Galfond turned the straight when a K fell. Galfond's elation was short-lived, however, as another K came on the river, giving his opponent a full house and the pot.
