Another Double for "OMGClayAiken"

We saw the ESPN camera crew rush toward Phil Galfond's table, which usually indicates that a notable player is all in. When we arrived, we learned that Galfond had raised from the small blind, the big blind shoved, and Galfond called off his short stack.

Showdown
Galfond: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Big Blind: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

The {6-Clubs}{K-Spades}{8-Spades} flop gave Galfond the nut-flush draw to go along with his overs, making him a favorite to win the hand. An offsuit {J-} didn't held his cause on the turn, but the {8-Spades} on the river completed the said flush and assured Galfond the double. While he has had two recent doubles, "OMGClayAiken" is still short with 13,000.
