Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was picked up between the small blind Alexander Wiggins, and the big blind Daniel DaConti with the board showing 3♠Q♣9♠.

DaConti quickly turned over 10♦9♦ for a full house nines full of tens, but Wiggins had a bigger boat when he turned over Q♠9♣ for nines full of queens to take the pot and eliminate DaConti in brutal fashion.
