Arjang Doubles Through Karagulleyan

Today has been a day for the short stacks. They continue to double up. Payman Arjang was the latest player at risk of elimination when his preflop all-in bet was called by Chris Karagulleyan. Arjang had a dominating preflop hand, {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} against Karagulleyan's {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Neither player connected with the {K-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {2-Hearts} flop or the {5-Diamonds} turn. Karagulleyan was momentarily elated to see the {A-Hearts} hit the river, thinking it had made him a flush. But there were only two hearts on the board; Arjang's pair of aces doubled him up.

Which short stack will be the unlucky one who doesn't double up? Inquiring minds want to know.
