Failla Doubles a Shorty
Will "The Thrill" Failla opened to 2,500 from under the gun and action folded around to his opponent on the button, who min-raised to 5,000 with just a few thousand behind. Action folded back around to Failla, who said, "You're just going to move all in on the flop," and made the call.
The flop came 
and Failla checked. Indeed, his opponent moved all in for his remaining stack and Failla called.
Failla: 
Opponent: 
"I knew you had me crushed, but I just had to go with the hand...[to] try and suck out."
The 
turn and 
river kept Failla's opponent in the lead and he doubled through.
Failla has had a rough start to the day, but still has plenty of chips to work with (55,000).
