Oneal Cracks Queens
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
John Oneal raised to 40,000 under the gun and Pierre Merlin three-bet shoved in middle position for 325,000 to put himself at risk. Oneal made the call.
Pierre Merlin: Q♥Q♣ 
John Oneal: A♣Q♠
Oneal pulled ahead on the 6♥A♥9♥ flop, pairing his ace, but Merlin picked up a flush draw. There were no hearts to be found on the K♣ turn or A♦ river and Merlin was sent packing.
