Scaling the Leaderboard in a Hurry

Just before the break, David Williams chipped up in a big way. On a flop of {2-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}, the small blind bet 3,000. Williams raised to 9,000. The two traded raises back and forth until all the chips were in the middle.

Williams: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}

Williams made two pair, jacks and fours against the unimproved aces of his opponent. The turn and river came {7-Spades} {J-Spades}. Williams' full house was the boss hand. It was a big pot that vaulted him near the cihp lead with 82,000 chips.
