James Gilbert got his stack of just over 10,000 all in preflop holding {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} against the {a-Spades}{k-Spades} of Jordan Saccucci. The dealer fanned the {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop and Saccucci flopped Broadway to take control of the hand.

The turn {k-Clubs} gave Gilbert some chop outs but the {5-Spades} completed the board and Gilbert was sent to the rail.
