Quibell's Queens Save the Day

Action began with a player in early position who raised to 1,600. A player in middle position flatted and action folded around to Crystal Quibell, who squeezed all in for about 4,800 total. The player in the big blind then announced he was all in himself for several thousand more, sending the original raiser deep into the tank. He eventually folded, as did the middle-position player.

Quibell flipped over a pair of queens, much to the dismay to her opponent, who grimaced and revealed two jacks.

The board ran out {4-}{3-}{5-}{A-}{A-} and Quibell scooped the sizable pot - chipping back up to 13,300.
