John Bird Flying High

John Bird called an all in bet from another player. Bird held {Q-?} {Q-?} against his opponent's {A-?} {10-?}. The flop and turn helped neither player, but a {Q-?} on the river sealed the deal for Bird.

After the hand, Bird moved up to 125,000. Bird started the day with only 16,500 but has chipped up nicely since that point.
