Another Double-up

Preflop, Adam Levy made it 8,500 to go from the cutoff and was called by Sam El Sayed. The flop came {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} and El Sayed checked while Levy fired 13,000 in the pot. El Sayed check-raised all in and after going into the tank for awhile, Levy made the call. Levy showed pocket aces and was up against El Sayed's {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. El Sayed had middle pair and was open ended, but the board ran {Q-Diamonds} on the turn and {9-Spades} on the river to give both players two pair, with Levy's aces leading the way. After the hand, Levy is up to 160,000.
