Staples Wins Battle of the Joshuas
Level 8

Albert Smith raised to 2,000 in the cutoff, Joshua Staples three-bet to 6,500 on the button, and Joshua Mischel cold four-bet to 20,500 in the small blind. Smith got out of the way and Staples moved all in to put Mischel at risk, who had about 85,000 back. Mischel made the call.
Joshua Mischel: Q♣Q♥
Joshua Staples: K♣K♥
There were no queens to be found on the J♣8♠6♥3♥8♥ runout, and Mischel was sent to the rail.
