Queens Hold for Ripnick to Double Through Smith
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Soukha Kachittavong opened to 60,000 from under the gun and four players called before Jake Ripnick three-bet jammed a stack of 855,000 from the small blind. Only Joshua Smith called with a bigger stack, explaining "it feels like you're squeezing."
Jake Ripnick: 
Joshua Smith: 
Ripnick had a big hand but was still flipping and needed to dodge an ace or king. He did so as the board ran out 
and he recieved a big double.
"It looked like a squeeze," Smith said. "I can't fold ace-king."
"It'd be hard to explain what you were doing in a tournament if you folded ace-king," commented Dominick Sannino.
