Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Mariano Castro moved all in from the hijack, up against Brett Barber on the button.
Brett Barber: Q♣Q♦ 
Mariano Castro: Q♠Q♥
Both players tabled pocket queens, with players waiting to see if the board brought any flush possibillites. Instead, the A♥A♣A♦K♥K♦ runout left Barber and Castro playing the board, as the pot was chopped up.
"Would have been something if you had jacks," remarked Barber as both players stacked up their chips.
