Taleb Gets There To Score a KO

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ahmed Taleb
Ahmed Taleb

There was around 9,000 in the pot and action was on a player in early position, who had bet 4,200 and was raised to 10,000 by Ahmed Taleb, who was on his direct left. The early-position player reraised all in for about 16,000 and Taleb threw in chips to call.

"He has two queens," said another player at the table.

All-In Player: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Ahmed Taleb: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The all-in player's hand was correctly guessed and the player saw himself in great shape to score a double. Unfortunately for him, the turn fell {a-Diamonds} to improve Taleb to top two pair. Things stayed that way as the {6-Diamonds} fell on the river to complete the runout, resulting in Taleb's two pair remaining best to earn him the pot and the knockout.
