Ashby Three for Three on Softplayed Big Pairs

[user75032]

We've already commented today how Richard Ashby took somewhat unusual lines with pocket aces and pocket kings, playing them incredibly soft. He's done it again, with queens, but this time he was joined by Sam Capra's softplay of kings!

Capra opened the pot for 55,000 and Ashby called out of the big blind. Both players were a bit leery of a flop that came {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {2-Hearts} and checked it through to the turn, which was the {Q-Diamonds}. Ashby had first action and checked again. Capra checked behind. On the river {9-Spades}, Ashby led out for 60,000. Capra just called. Ashby showed his queens for queens full of aces; Capra showed his pocket kings and mucked.

It was a very curious hand all around. If the players won't give action in a hand of queens versus kings five-handed, what will it take?
