Marching Out of Here

Daniel Walsh raised to 4,000 from early position, and the action passed all the way around to the last player, big blind Robert March who moved all in for his last 30,000. Walsh went deep into the tank for two or three minutes mumbling, "Seems like a squeeze play..." Finally, he made the call, putting March's tournament life in the balance.

Showdown
Walsh: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
March: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

Two players at the table claimed to have folded the remaining queens, making Walsh a slight favorite. Indeed, the board ran out {K-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {7-Spades}, giving Walsh the winning kings up and sending March toward the exit.
