Perfecting the Art of the Double Up

We've watched as Angel Guillen has found a way to double his stack countless times during this tournament, and this instance was no different. Guillen raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Pablo Joaquin Melogno announced all in from the big blind. Guillen called for his last 726,000 and the hands were tabled:

Guillen: {A-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Melogno: {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

Guillen retained his lead on the {3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop and watched on as the {9-Clubs} turned. Fifth street was the {4-Clubs} and Guillen's ace-jack high was the best hand, resulting in yet another double up for the Team PokerStars Pro.
