"When I See Queens, It's Traumatic!
Level 5
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Karl Symonds opened to 2,000 from under the gun and Graham Cowan three-bet all in for 16,600.
Patrick Yazbeck made it 30,000 from the small blind before Marcuss Liow moved all in for just over 50,000 in the big blind.
"How much?" asked Symonds, who had earlier won a monster pot against Liow to move into the chip lead.
"This is my chance to get back to my former glory!" replied Liow. Symonds eventually folded and Yazbeck called.
Graham Cowan: A♥10♠ 
Marcuss Liow: Q♠Q♣
Patrick Yazbeck: A♠Q♥
The board came 10♣9♥2♦5♣3♣ with Liow holding to eliminate Cowan and double through Yazback.
"When I see queens, it's traumatic" said Liow, referring to his earlier encounter with Symonds.
