Action Bob Hwang Busts Someone

A player in middle position raises to 15,000, 'Action' Bob Hwang moves all in for 46,000, and his opponent calls all in with {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Hwang shows {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

The board comes {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, and there was almost a diamond flush on the board to chop the pot (neither player had a diamond). But Hwang's queens hold up to win the pot, and he busts his opponent as his chip stack climbs to 90,000.

Sorel Mizzi Building a Bigger Stack

Sorel Mizzi raises from early position to about 10,000, a player in late position moves all in for about 36,000, and Mizzi calls with {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. His opponent has {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, and Mizzi is dominated.

The board comes {J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, and Mizzi takes the pot with a queen-high flush to bust his opponent. Mizz increases his stack to about 120,000.

A few hands later, another player is all in with Q-Q against Mizzi's K-K. The better pair holds up for Mizzi, and he busts another on his way to 160,000 chips.
