Wrong Time for a Squeeze

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

After a raise to 1,000 and a three-bet to 2,600, David Peters made it 7,000 to go and the initial raiser tanked for a minute before five-betting to 37,000, which put both opponents all in and at risk. The three-bettor called all in for 20,000 with {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} and Peters released his cards, the initial raiser showed {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} . The board ran out {9-Spades} {4-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} and once again the best starting hand got cracked today.

Mateusz Moolhuizen
Mateusz Moolhuizen

Mateusz Moolhuizen just managed to double up with the classic {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} versus {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} race. The Dutch player's queens held firm on a {6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} board, although Moolhuizen hasn't been too impressed with his own play today, "Sometimes you double up and you just don't deserve it but you get it anyway..."
