Kirk's Queens Hold Up

Level 26 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

After Ben Mintz opened for 42,000 from middle position and Rogen Chhabra called, Tripp Kirk moved all in for 289,000 from the button. The blinds both folded, as did Mintz, and Chhabra made the call.

Chhabra: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Kirk: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

Kirk was racing for his tournament life, and it'd be a race he'd survive as the board ran out a safe {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.
