The Proverbial Two Birds

E-Tay, now among the fallen
E-Tay, now among the fallen
Michael "Car Wash" Schneider had just 3,000 chips when he moved all in preflop. Esther "E-Tay" Taylor made the call, only to see an opponent raise to 7,000 behind her. When the betting came back around, she moved all in for just over 20,000, and her live opponent quickly called, putting her tournament life on the line as well.

Showdown
Schneider: {A-?} {K-?}
Taylor: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-?} {Q-?}

The flop pretty much ended things as it came down {Q-?} {2-?} {2-?}. Taylor was drawing completely dead, while Schneider was left drawing to just a runner-runner royal flush. The turn would dispel any delusions he had of winning though; the case {Q-?} ripped off, giving the unknown opponent unbeatable quad queens.

Both E-Tay and Car Wash are now meandering around the room, checking on their pals.
