Osterland Doubles Up

[user38449]

German pro Felix Osterland has skyrocketed to the top of our leaderboard after his pocket aces held up against Andre Merheb's pocket queens, though it wasn't without a sweat.

The two got it all in preflop and Merheb's eyes lit up when the dealer spread a {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

flop, for he held the queen of clubs; Osterland was clubless.

"Bad flop for me, man," said Osterland after painfully sweating the turn ( {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

) and river ( {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

).

The win kicked him up to 67,000 in chips, while Merheb was left super short-stacked.
