With the board showing Diamond QClub 5Club 2Spade 10 on the turn and about 30K already in the pot, Drake Pitoniak (pictured) moves all in for 26,500, and Galen Hall goes into the tank from under the gun.

As Hall tanks, he says something like, “I’ve been running really hot today.”

Eventually, somebody calls for a clock, and shortly after the clock begins, Hall calls with Club 9Club 8 for a club flush draw with a gutshot straight draw.

Pitoniak turns over Diamond AHeart K for a gutshot straight draw, and he’s currently ahead with ace high and needs it to hold to stay alive.

The river card pairs the board with the Heart Q, and Pitoniak wins the pot with his ace to double up in chips.

Drake Pitoniak  –  82,500  (165 bb)
Galen Hall  –  120,000  (240 bb)
