Francis Beauregard open-shoved for 59,000 from the hijack and Renmei Liu called in the big blind with a covering stack to put Beauregard at risk.
Francis Beauregard: Q♥Q♠
Renmei Liu: 5♥5♣
Beauregard was in great shape to double up with the bigger pocket pair until the 8♠5♠6♠ flop gave Liu a set leaving Beauregard drawing to either a queen or a spade. The K♣ turn was a brick but the Q♦ river gave Beauregard a bigger set and he scored a full double up through Liu just two spots away from the money bubble.
