Komatz Survives Off Two Chips
Level 18
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Michael Komatz moved his last 10,000 into the middle from the cutoff, and Tom Talboom raised to 200,000 on the button. Benjamin Leblond came along in the big blind, and the Q♠Q♥7♠ flop hit the felt.
Leblond checked to Talboom, who continued for 125,000. That was enough to claim the side pot, as Leblond folded and the hands were turned up.
Michael Komatz: A♥Q♣ 
Tom Talboom: 8♣4♠
The table laughed as Komatz revealed his trip queens. The 4♣ turn and 5♦ river completed the board, and Komatz turned his 10,000 into 140,000 on the stone bubble.
