Queen Doubles Up With the King
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A player opened in the hijack for 17,000 and it was called by the cutoff, as well as Ian Steinman on the button and Alexander Queen in the big blind.
The flop was 
and after the two first players checked, the cutoff bet for 40,000. Steinman folded his hand and Queen moved all in for 223,000. The hijack player folded and after some consideration, the cutoff made the call. Holding 
, Queen was facing 
in his opponent's hand.
The 
turn brought no help to Queen but the 
on the river gave him one of the outs he needed for the double-up.
