Big Pocket Pairs Collide in Huge Pot
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A preflop battle saw Sam Journeay get his stack of roughly 110,000 all in preflop against Richard Collier.
Sam Journeay: A♦A♣
Richard Collier: Q♥Q♦
Journeay was at risk but held the superior pocket pair. He took a hammerlock on the hand when the 8♣7♠A♠ flop delivered him a set and left Collier drawing to runner-runner queens.
The K♠ turn took away any shot of that happening and Collier was left drawing dead heading to the meaningless 10♦ river. Collier was left with just 5,000 after the hand and went bust shortly thereafter.
