Mitchell Finds Aces and Action

A player in early position raised to 2,000, and Nicholas Mitchell called from the button. He and the raiser took a heads-up flop of {9-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {10-Hearts}, and Mitchell faced a continuation bet of 5,000. He decided to raise to 20,000, enough to cover his opponent. The call came quickly, and the cards were turned up:

Mitchell: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}
Opponent: {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}

The {2-Diamonds} turn and {4-Diamonds} sealed the knockout for Mitchell, boosting his stack to right at 50,000 now.
