Aces Full Will Do

John Podobnik, a player from Niagara Falls, Canada, is sitting in seat two at Jack McClelland's table. Sitting in middle position, action was folded to him and he went all in for his last 1,650 chips. The player to his immediate left called and the remaining players folded.

Podobnik flipped over {A-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and wasn't happy to see his opponent's {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. However, when the flop brought {j-Clubs}{a-Spades}{a-Hearts}, things were looking up for our Canadian. The hand finished with the {7-Hearts} on the turn and the {3-Diamonds} on the river, leaving Podobnik with just over twice as many chips as he had before the hand.
