Force Doubles Through One and Stacks Another

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Three players got all the chips in the middle before the flop and Leif Force had the middle stack with 179,000.

Leif Force: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Opponent 1: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Opponent 2: {A-}{K-}

Force had the preflop edge and needed his hand to hold up in order to survive. The {J-Hearts} popped up in the window, prompting Force to exclaim "that's a good start!" The rest of the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Force took the pot to stack one opponent and double through the other.

Force told us that prior to this hand, he'd recently been worn down a couple of bad beats, including a hand in which he held {K-}{7-} on a {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-} flop against a player with {10-}{7-} and saw a {10-} show up on the river.
