Mesquita Slicks Ying's Ladies For Massive Double

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Po Ying opened for 11,500 from early position and Eliano Mesquita three-bet to 35,000 sitting directly to his left. Action folded back around to Ying who announced, "all in." Mesquita called putting his tournament life at risk.

Po Ying: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Eliano Mesquita: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Mesquita was behind but spiked a king right off the bat with the {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{8-Spades} flop.

The turn brought the {j-Clubs} and Ying needed a queen to fall on the river to eliminate Mesquita.

Luckily for Mesquita, the river fell the {9-Spades} and he got a huge double up in the last level of the evening as Ying sent over 283,00.
