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: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Joshua Smith: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

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 {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} 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.
