Phil Gordon Doubles Up!

Phil Gordon opens with a raise to 1,200 from middle position and gets called by a single player who is seated two seats to Phil's left. The flop is {J-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Spades} and Phil leads out with a 2,500 bet. His opponent, who has Phil covered, casually picks up his large stack of 1,000 denomination chips and drops them into the pot putting Phil all in. Gordon immediately calls showing the beautiful {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}, which holds up against his opponent's pocket pair of tens to win a pot of 17,150.
