When a Queen Looks Like an Ace

Short stacked and desperate for a hand, Shalom Malca found his tournament life on the line with K-Q versus 6-6. Fortunately, his coin was buttered the right side, the A-8-Q-Q-K board providing him with a timely, and essential double through.

Sadly, Malca is still short stacked with 2,600, so will need a repeat performance (or two) if he's going to become a challenge in this event.

"When you haven't seen anything above a ten," he complained, "a queen suddenly looks like aces."

Now I'm no expert in reading things into what people say, but I'd suggest he hasn't seen too many big hands today.
