Big Stax 1100 (Day 3): Maguire Doubles Through Galazzo

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 428
Players Remaining: 10

After the first two players folded, Tim Maguire opened the action by shoving his remaining stack of just over ten big blinds (425,000).  Joe Galazzo was next to act, and after sitting motionless for about a minute, he cut out the chips for a call and pushed them across the line.  The remaining players would fold behind, and Maguire would say to his rail, "I'm going to use my one time:"

Maguire: A 10
Galazzo: A♣ 9

Runout: 2♠ 5♣ 8♠ 3♣ K

Tim would be able to save his one time, because he actually had the best hand once the cards were tabled.  His better ace-high would hold, and Maguire doubled his short stack to a more manageable (20) big blind stack.
