Sailor's Top Two Earn a Huge Early Pot

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

There was already a pot of almost 20,000 built up between a player in the hijack and Brad Sailor on the button, and the complete {q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board was out on the felt. The hijack checked over to Sailor, who bet 5,000, and the hijack called.

Sailor turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for aces-up, and his opponent nodded, then mucked, sending Sailor's stack to over double the starting stack halfway through the first level of the day.
