Ace on the Flop Not Enough for Galic

[user66118]

Joao Barbosa opened the pot with a raise from late position, and Dragan Galic moved all in for less than 3,000 from the button. Barbosa called the extra bit to put Galic at risk, turning over {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

. The Croatian Sensation was in good shape to double up, tabling {A-?}

{A-?}

{J-?}

.

The news would get better too; the dealer ran out a flop of {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

to give Galic a healthy lead in the hand. Then the news would get worse, much worse. The {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

hit the turn to give Barbosa his pair and two outs for the knockout. And sure enough, he found the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

on the river to make the unlikely trips and send Galic to the rail.

"Wow. Two queens!" said Galic as he headed off, more shocked than upset.
