Queens Hold for Erickson

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Stephen D'Angelo moved all in from under the gun, and John Erickson called off his shorted stack of 57,500 as next to act. The rest of the table folded, leaving Erickson at risk heads up.

John Erickson: QQ All in
Stephen D'Angelo: AJ

Erickson's pocket queens saw a safe 1041029 runout, staying alive and earning the double through D'Angelo.
