Sadek Runs Queens Into Aces
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Esper Sadek raised from the hijack and was faced with a three-bet from Philipp Wood to 625,000 on the button. When it got back to Sadek, he shoved for 2,500,000, and Wood snap-called for his stack of almost 2,000,000.
Philipp Wood: A♣A♠ 
Esper Sadek: Q♠Q♦
An unfortunate spot for Sadek, but there were still five cards to come for him to try and spike a queen. However, the 5♣5♥A♦ flop all but sealed the deal as Wood improved to top set. No miracle runner-runner occurred on the 3♣9♦ runout, and Sadek was reduced to around 600,000 while Wood shot up to over four million.
