Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and James Frisk was at risk for about 500,000 against James Carroll.

James Frisk: Q♦Q♠ All in
James Carroll: A♥Q♥

The A♦7♥2♦ flop gave Carroll a pair of aces to take the lead and Frisk couldn't find the last queen in the deck to stay alive as the board completed with the 7♠ turn and 5♣ river.
