Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ryan Bascombe raised from early position and Paul Leckey moved all in from the big blind for 33,000. Bascombe called and had Leckey covered as players revealed their cards.

Gregory Neal: A♣10♠ All in
Ryan Bascome: Q♥Q♦

The board ran out 5♣K♣7♥2♦2♠. Bascombe held with his pocket queens to double up his stack, more than making up for the hand he'd previously lost.
