James Busts Conniff with "Only" Ace Queen

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With all the cards laid out, the AQ of Jason James had overcome Asher Coniff's 55 on a board of QKQ9J and busted Conniff.

After the hand James took some needling from Nick Palma, who had raised preflop, but folded once James re-jammed Conniff's all in.

"You shoved with only ace queen? I could have had kings there!" said Palma.

"[Conniff] shoved with pocket fives," James retorted. "That shows you much respect your raises get."
