Tsoy Doubles With Queen-High

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Oleg Tsoy and Valentin Shmagun just got involved in another pot against each other, and it involved Tsoy doubling up in unusual fashion.

Tsoy bet 25,000 from the small blind on a board of {2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Spades}{k-Hearts} before Shmagun, on the button, moved all in. Tsoy only had around 10,000 remaining and tanked for a few minutes before calling.

Shmagun turned over {5-Spades}{4-Spades} for a straight draw, while Tsoy had {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}. The river came the {j-Spades} and Tsoy's queen-high was enough to earn him the double up as several players at the table took out their phones and snapped a picture of the board.
