Obst Doubles with Queen-High

[user67765]

Grant Levy limped from under the gun and James Obst popped it up from the button. Levy made the call.

The flop landed {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

and Levy checked to Obst, who bet out. Levy then check-raised him, putting Obst all in. Obst chuckled and swore very quietly to himself. Pot committed, he called for his tournament life holding just queen-high with {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

. He remarkably found himself in front as Levy showed {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

for a bare flush draw.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

and river

{5-Hearts}

. Obst doubled through Levy and both players are now on about 45,000 chips each.
