Vuckovic Finds Queens, Doubles
Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Jie Zheng had shoved all in from middle position for 205,000 and the action folded around to Alexander Vuckovic. He slowly peeled his cards, nodded, and announced his call, putting himself at risk.
Alexander Vuckovic: Q♠Q♣
Jie Zheng: J♥8♥
''No sweat'', requested Vuckovic. The flop came 9♥5♦10♣ and he exclaimed ''Oh maximum sweat!''. The J♠ turn gave Zheng a pair but made Vuckovic a straight draw as well. The river fell a complete brick of [5sc] and Vuckovic cheered while he raked in his double-up. Meanwhile, Zheng was left with one big blind.
