Andre Aakari Doubles Up

Andre Aakari moved all in from middle position for his last 6,600. The player in the cutoff reraised all in but got no action on the raise. The players showed:

Aakari: {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

The flop came {10-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {5-Spades} giving Aakari a stranglehold on the hand. There was no runner-runner miracle for his opponent and he doubled up to just under 15,000 chips.
