Babel Grants a Double Up

Nicolas Babel opened the pot to 5,100 before an opponent moved all in for 42,900 behind him. Babel tanked it up for a long while before finally making the call with his big stack. Cards up, gents:

Babel: {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}

There was a king right in the door, and the board of {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {5-Clubs} secured the double up for ace-king and robbed Babel of another chunk of his stack. His stack has been trimmed of late, but he's still doing just fine with about 460,000 now.
