Costner Dancing with Queens

The flop read {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and the pot comprised 150,000 in chips when Thomas Joanides moved all in for 180,000. Gabe Costner tanked up for a while before making the call, and they flipped their cards.

Joanides: {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a pair of jacks
Costner: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for a pair of queens, or a "Siegfried and Roy," as they call it out here

Nothing happened to change matters on the turn or river, and Joanides was bust.

Costner's new stack was a middle-of-the-pack 615,000.
