Queens Up Two Times

[user66118]

Al Barbieri brought in with the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

up, and Levon Torosyan came along with him, showing the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

.

Both men picked up tens on fourth street. Torosyan bet his {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

, and Barbieri called on his {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

.

On fifth street, Torosyan led out after picking up a {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

. Barbieri called with the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

.

On sixth, we saw a little more action. Torosyan bet out after drawing a {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

. Barbieri received a {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

, and he raised. Torosyan three bet it, and Barbieri made the call.

As the dealer was dealing the last card out, Torosyan put in a dark bet. When Barbieri checked his, he raised. Torosyan looked rather sheepish, but he reluctantly made the call. The hands were tabled:

Barbieri: {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

/

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

Torosyan:

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

/

{Q-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

Both players make two pair, queens up. However, Torosyan's queens and tens are the better of the two, and he takes down the biggest pot so far at the final table. With that win, he has just edged Al Barbieri for the lead, 460,000 to 450,000.
