Jelinek Doubles Without Much Sweat

Sometimes big pots develop very quickly in this game. Before we even realized that Steve Jelinek was even involved in the hand, all of his chips were in the middle against Brandon Cantu.

Cantu: {A-Spades} {2-Hearts} {K-Spades} {6-Clubs}
Steve Jelinek: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

There was no low to be found anywhere on a board of {5-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} {5-Spades}, which was very bad news for Cantu. He completely whiffed, allowing Jelinek to take the pot with two pair, aces and nines.

The victory improved Jelinek's count to 426,000 while simultaneously knocking Cantu back below millon for the first time in a while.
