Bad Time for Queens
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Mark Davis got his chips in the middle from the hijack position against Zhou Lin in the small blind to be at risk for his tournament life.
Mark Davis: Q♣Q♠
Zhou Lin: A♠A♦
Davis held a strong starting hand in pocket queens, but Lin had the goods as he showed pocket aces in response.
Davis needed a fortunate runout. The flop offered slim pickings as it fanned out 8♠J♣K♥. The 7♣ closed any backdoor opportunities, and the 4♦ sealed the deal in favor of Lin.
