Belken Finds a Queen to Bust One
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
A player in the big blind moved all in for 25,000, and Michael Belken put him at risk on the button.
All-In Player: A♦K♠
Michael Belken: A♠Q♠
The at-risk player had Belken dominated and was a favorite to double up, but the flop brought 9♦Q♦2♣ to give Belken the lead with top pair. The rest of the board ran out 10♣7♥, and Belken scored the knockout.
"Ask him how he knew that was going to happen," another tablemate said.
"I wish I knew," Belken replied.
