Cooking With Gas

[user75032]

Gregory Cook came back from dinner and found queens in his pocket. He opened the pot with a raise to 6,000, and may have been salivating despite his full stomach when the cutoff player reraised to 21,000. With action back to Cook, he shoved all in for 88,000. The cutoff double-fist-pump-snap-called and tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

. The story was looking grim after a flop of {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

, but Cook spiked the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

on the turn to take the lead. He doubled up when the river fell {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

and eliminated his opponent, whom he just barely had covered.

Cook is up to 175,000.
