Driscoll Drills a Queen to Down Shane's Ducks

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We caught the action as Jonathan Driscoll and Brandon Shane were involved in an all-in confrontation. Driscoll was the shorter of the stacks and was at risk, holding {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} against the {2-}{2-} held by Shane.

We were off to the races, and as the dealer spread a flop of {8-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, Driscoll's hand improved to top pair, top kicker. Shane was hunting for ducks at that point, but the turn and river fell {K-Hearts} and {9-Clubs} respectively, doubling Driscoll up to approximately 250,000 chips.
