Queens Not Working for Pahuja

Vinny Pahuja raised from under the gun to 1,400. The next player to act moved all in for 8,775 total. The next player to act after that made the call of the all-in bet before action folded all the way back over to Pahuja. Pahuja announced that he was all in, having the player that flat-called covered. It dind't take long for that player to get out of the way.

Pahuja revealed {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} to which the all-in player said, "Good game, guys." and tabled {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}.

The flop was big for the at-risk player when it came {J-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Spades}. Immediately after seeing the jack, Pahuja smacked his hand on his forehead in disgust. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and the river the {5-Diamonds}.

"Unlucky." said the player to Pahuja as the chips were shipped over. This is the second big pot worth over 25,000 that Pahuja has lost with two queens. He's dropped down to 56,000.
