Dave Queen Has a Big Hand

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

Dave Queen opened under the gun to 800 and one player called behind. The next player to act shoved all in for 7,600.

The player on the button folded reluctantly before Queen called and the last player folded. That left Queen heads up with {a-Clubs}{a-Spades} against his at-risk opponent who held {9-Spades}{7-Spades}.

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{a-Hearts} and Queen won the hand with aces full of jacks to eliminate his opponent.
