Balzano's Aces Improve to Full Boat

Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Paul Balzano opened from early position for 27,000. He got a call from middle position before the button moved all in for 270,000. Balzano, with his opponent covered, snap called before the player from middle position got out of the way.
Opponent:
Paul Balzano:
Balzano already had his opponent crushed, but the flop gave him a set, meaning his opponent would need running kings or running hearts to stay alive. Neither came though, instead the
runout paired the board, improving Balzano's set to a full house.
