Alaei Sucks Out on Greenberg

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Action folded to Lawrence Greenberg in the small blind and he put in a raise to 8,000. Daniel Alaei was in the big blind and pushed back to the tune of 21,000. Greenberg thought for a moment, grabbed his stack, and moved all in for a total of 60,000. Alaei quickly called and the cards were revealed:

Alaei: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Greenberg: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Big pairs colliding in the blinds is unusual, but at least Greenberg, who was the one at risk, held the better hand. The {4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} flop changed nothing and neither did the {4-Spades} river. Alaei could only catch a queen on the river to eliminate his opponent. BINK . . . {Q-Hearts} on the river for the two outer. Greenberg was shell shocked as he exited the tournament area. With that, Alaei is up to 220,000.
