Sukmekerd Doubles Up

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Heidi Rhodes and Siriwan Sukmekerd got it all in preflop with Sukmekerd holding the best starting hand in hold'em: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}. Rhodes was needing some help with {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} if she wanted to avoid doubling up her opponent, but she couldn't find any on the board of {6-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Sukmekerd secured the double up and commented on how there was no way she was going to slow play those aces. Playing them fast seems to have worked for her.
