remember if you look again at the post by issac , john is all in on the turn..........
It was actually J2o , because of Issacs aggressive image and also that JG is a lucy gucy he called [he had position]
no cb by issac on the flop?J28 rainbow hmmm ok check J2o bad but i got 2 pair
, now on the turn 8 Issac checks again which to me if i was john i"d now discount all slow plays based on Issacs aggressive nature, so thats all over pairs, sets, 2 pairs and top pairs discounted and i"d be pretty sure i"m ahead on the turn [range for Issac Ax [TTor99 i"d expect a cb on flop] 77 66 [55 44 33 very doubtful] KQ KJ QJ etc.
But the vital part is 2 checks out of position by Issac,so with John Gales image and the bad bluff from earlier , do you think it is a smart play to go all in on the turn, it caught Issac out , he thought his ace would be good
good move John imo...
here is issacs last post -

I"m a little confused because John can"t have an Eight in his hand, considering the large bet, and I don"t know if he is capable of playing a big pair that way.)

Yea, I called and he showed me J2o which completely boggled my mind.
and his explaination for no CB on the flop -
because c"betting is a pretty decent sized portion of my stack and the impression that I got of John is that he does not like to fold at all, and I could not imagine a cbet working on this board working nearly enough for it to be good.
