Gebeyehu Coolers Queen

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Abel Gebeyehu

Abel Gebeyehu opened to 4,500 in the cutoff, and Alexander Queen replied with a three-bet to 20,000 in the big blind. Gebeyehu promptly four-bet to 44,000, and made the quick call when Queen announced all in.

Alexander Queen: QQ All in
Abel Gebeyehu: KK

The pot swelled to 448,000 chips, as Gebeyehu tabled the higher pair. Nothing changed on the 66JA3 runout, as the dealer verified both stacks and slid the chip lead to Gebeyehu.

That left Queen with less than 5,000 chips, which he lost on the next hand to hit the rail.
