Stolzmann's Queens Can't Hold Up

Steve Stolzmann opened the pot for a 1,700 raise, a middle position player moved all in for 12,000 and Stolzmann made the call, turning up {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades} to his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}. The flop, though came down {A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {K-Spades}, leaving Stolzmann drawing extremely thin. The turn was the {3-Hearts}, the river was the {3-Clubs}, and Stolzmann's stack fell to 44,000

"The best hand never wins here," muttered Stolzmann as his opponent dragged the pot.
