Van Luijk Doubles Up with Aces

Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Markkos Ladev opened to 16,000 from early position. Derk van Luijk to his left three-bet to 40,000, then all the other players folded to Ladev who called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 7?5?2? and Van Luijk continued for 55,000. Ladev check-raised all-in and Van Luijk snap-called, finding himself at risk for 207,000.
Derk van Luijk: A?A??
Markkos Ladev: K?Q?
Ladev had a flush draw, but the Q?9? runout didn't complete his flush so Van Luijk secured a double up.
