Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A player called us over to tell us about a big hand that had happened a short time ago, and one of the players involved, Jose "Chapz" Zaragoza, a poker dealer at Players Casino in Ventura, California, was kind enough to fill us in on what had transpired.

A player raised to 2,200 from early position, and a middle position player called. Ben Guerena, a poker dealer at Pechanga Casino in California, three-bet to 7,000, and Zaragoza four-bet jammed for 42,200. Action folded back to Guerena, who called.

Ben Guerena: {a-}{a-}
Jose "Chapz" Zaragoza: {q-}{q-}

Guerena's aces were cracked on a queen-high flop, and to add insult to injury, another queen fell on the turn, securing the double for Zaragoza with quad queens.
