Kapoor Fades Hearts to Double Up

Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with roughly 250,000 in the pot and the board showing 9?3?5?.
Sanjeev Kapoor was first to act and bet all in for 740,000. Stone Malick got the count, and put in chips to call.
Sanjeev Kapoor: A?K?
Stone Malick: A?J?
Kapoor just had ace-king high but was good for the moment, as Malick had a smaller ace, but the nut flush draw to go with it. The board ran out 8? on the turn, A? on the river and the ace-king of Kapoor was still best to secure the double up.
