Aristidou Doubles

An early double-up in a major tournament is a great confidence-builder. Peter Aristidou is brimming with confidence right now. His pocket nines straightened out on the river of a {10-Clubs} {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {6-Clubs}. Aristidou bet 5,700, then called when his opponent moved all in. His ten-high straight was good enough for a double-up.

A short time later Aristidou took down another small pot with pocket jacks against unimproved ace-king. As a result he's eclipsed the 50,000-chip mark.
