Failla Surges to 160K

Will Fialla has built himself a stack of 162,000 chips, many of which came when he was in the small blind and was facing a raise from a player acting under the gun. Failla had just raised the action from 2,500 to 8,000 when the big blind went all in for about 40,000. The under the gun player folded but Failla made the call.

Failla: {a-}{a-}
Big blind: {k-}{k-}

The board was no help to the kings and Failla sent his opponent to the rail while adding a nice tower of yellow chips to his stack.
