Noel Nordquist Doubles Through Stavros Kalfas

Noel Nordquist moved all in for 19,400 from early position only to have Stavros Kalfas reraise to over 50,000, enough to put the only other player with a hand, Haward Speer, all in should he have chosen to call. Speer thought for awhile and then eventually folded {A-?} {Q-?} face-up. The players showed:

Nordquist: {A-?} {5-?}
Kalfas: {K-?} {J-?}

The board ran out {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} leaving Nordquist's trip nines with an ace as the best hand. He doubled up to roughly 45,000, leaving Speer shaking his head in regret.
