Consecutive Pocket Queens Cracked

Laura Fryer

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

John Pierce was all in from the cutoff and up against the button's entire stack.

Button: Q♣Q♥ All in
John Pierce: A♣K♥

The 5x7xAx2x4x runout gave Pierce top pair and he took down the pot and knocked out a player.

A couple of tables away, Senovio Ramirez was all in and at risk from under the gun and had been called by a middle position player who covered him.

Senovio Ramirez: A♠K♠ All in
Under the Gun: Q♠Q♦

Just as before, the 4♠5♦A♦6♦7♠ runout gave Ramirez the pair of aces to get the double.
