Thrilling Double-Up

Life's a little better for Will "the Thrill" Failla. He raised all in for 56,500 after Jim Collopy opened the pot for 7,500. It wasn't Collopy who took Failla on, however. It was button player Kirill Rabstov, who moved all in over the top of Failla for about 115,000. Rabstov's pocket tens were no match for Failla's pocket aces. After a board of {7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Spades}, Failla pushed forward his stack so that the dealer could count it down in preparation for a double-up. Failla's stack instantly doubled to about 128,000. Rabtsov slipped down to 59,000, which isn't yet a cause to panic, but certainly not a robust amount at this stage.
