Peterson Gets Lucky to Crack Aces and Stay Alive
Level 11
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jim Peterson moved all in for his last 26,000 from middle position and Sam Journeay called next to act. The rest of the players got out of the way and Peterson discovered the bad news.
Jim Peterson: Q♣Q♥
Sam Journeay: A♠A♥
Journeay had the granddaddy of all hands, but Peterson got lucky when the 6♠Q♦3♠ flop delivered him a set of queens. Neither the 8♣ turn nor J♦ river changed a thing and Peterson kept his tournament hopes alive.
