Kopylkov Cracks Spindler's Queens

We're not sure when the chips went in, we're guessing it was preflop, but Alexander Kopylkov just doubled through Benny Spindler holding {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} on a {J-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} board. Spindler held the {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and was ahead until the turn, but the king saved Kopylkov and allowed him to double through the big stack.

Spindler folded, and Bondar reraised all in. Kopylkov folded, and Barnes quickly called with the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Bondar held the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for top pair and a flush draw, while Kopylkov showed that he laid down {A-}{J-}.
