River Queen No Help For Hurst as Abelman Doubles

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Steven Abelman
Steven Abelman

Steven Abelman had a raise of 3,000 in front of him from under the gun and Frederick Schmidt called in middle position before Andrew Hurst moved all in from the cutoff. Abelman called for 49,000, while Schmidt got out of the way.

Steven Abelman: K♥K♠ All in
Andrew Hurst: Q♦Q♣

Abelman had Hurst crushed with his kings, and the A♥A♠A♦ flop gave him a full house and left Hurst drawing only to running quads. "High hand!" another tablemate yelled out. The turn was the 7♠, while Hurst caught the Q♠ on the river but it still wasn't enough to avoid handing over the double up to Abelman.
