Battle of the Blinds

A preflop raising war broke out between Nam Le in the big blind and his small-blind opponent, and all the chips ended up in the middle.

Le flipped over {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} to his opponent's {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}.

The board ran {10-Hearts} {2-Spades} {5-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}, meaning Le doubled up his opponent.

Le down to 6,000 now.
