Baroukh Unexpectedly Doubles Up
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Pieter De Necker raised to 3,000 under the gun before Fowzi Baroukh three-bet to 8,000 on the button. De Necker then moved all in and Baroukh called for 22,100.
Fowzi Baroukh: J♥J♠ 
Pieter De Necker: K♦Q♦
Baroukh asked the dealer what De Necker, sitting across the table, had. "King-queen, of diamonds," the dealer replied.
The board then ran out 3♠2♣4♦2♠9♣ and Baroukh got up from his seat to make his exit before his tablemates alerted him that he had won the hand.
"I heard two queens," Baroukh said, sitting back in his seat and taking in the double up.
