Richardson's Queen Hold
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Larry Wagner opened for 10,000 and got called by Kevin McBride in late position. Adam Richardson in the big blind had other things in mind and shoved all in for 61,000. Wagner got out of the way, and McBride called for a showdown.
Adam Richardson: Q♠Q♣ 
Kevin McBride: A♠K♥
The flop came 6♣J♣10♦. McBride's outs increased with a gutshot straight draw, but with Richardson holding two queens, it made another queen coming out highly unlikely.
The runout 5♦6♦ didn't help McBride at all. The pot was pushed to Richardson for a double up.
