A player in middle position limped in before Robert Hawkenberry raised to 2,100 in the cutoff. Brent Slaubaugh then reraised to 7,400 in the big blind and the middle-position player folded, while Hawkenberry moved all in for 40,000. Slaubaugh snap-called.

Robert Hawkenberry: Q♣Q♥ All in
Brent Slaubaugh: K♥K♠

Hawkenberry had run his queens right into Slaubaugh's kings, and the 5♣10♠4♣8♠J♣ board offered no help as Hawkenberry was sent to the rail.

"Sorry, buddy," Slaubaugh told him.

"Yeah, f**k you," Hawkenberry replied with a laugh as he went off to reenter.
