Big Pockets Both Get There

Tom Sartori is the first one into this particular pot, raising to 1,600 from middle position. The player on the button reraises all in for about 9,000 total, and Sartori quickly calls.

Sartori: A-A
Opponent: J-J

The flop brings the {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{K-Spades}. On the turn, the all-in player spikes one of his outs, hitting the {J-Clubs}. However, Sartori rallies on the river, as the {Q-Hearts} makes him an ace-high straight, and eliminates another player from the field. Sartori is healthy, with a stack approaching 40,000.
