David Chicotsky Doubles Up

A middle position player raised to 800 and the cutoff reraised to 2,500. David Chicotsky made it 6,500 from the button. The initial raiser passed but the cutoff seat moved all in. Chicotosky called all in for his whole stack of roughly 9,500 total. The players showed:

Chicotsky: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}

Chicotsky won the hand when the board ran out {K-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {9-Spades} {2-Spades} . He doubled up to approximately 23,000 chips.
