Galfond Doubles, Still In Bad Shape

Phil Galfond has been on life support for awhile, sitting with around 3,000 chips. In a recent hand we managed to be walking by as a player from middle position made a 700 chip bet preflop that happened to fold around to Galfond in the big blind who opted to move all in. A call was made and cards were tabled.

Galfond: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {A-}{6-}

The cards came out {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and Galfound managed to hold on and double up, putting him around a meekly 5,000 chips.
