Queens Don't Help Yaghmai

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

After some raising back and forth, Nariman Yaghmai and the player in the hijack got all of the chips into the middle, creating a pot worth around 260,000, with the hijack player at risk.

Hijack: K♥K♠ All in
Nariman Yaghmai: Q♠Q♣

It was a cooler involving two of the biggest pairs in the deck, and Yaghmai needed to find a queen or be left with just a few big blinds.

No lady arrived for Yaghmai on the 5♠A♥3♥3♦8♣ runout, and the majority of his stack was shipped across the table.
