Kim Picks Up Aces to Double Through Clifford

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Daniel Kim opened to 3,500 from the button before Michael Clifford jammed for 24,500 total from the small blind. Kim called and the players revealed their cards:

Kim - {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Clifford - {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Kim was in good position to double, while Clifford was looking for a miracle to score the knockout. Clifford picked up a gutshot straight draw when the board came {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Spades} {q-Hearts}, but he paired his jack on the {j-Clubs} river which wasn't good enough.
