Leja's Queens Cracked
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Tomas Geleziunas opened to 9,000 in hijack and received an all-in shove for around 28,000 from David Leja on the button sending Geleziunas to the tank. Geleziunas called after a few seconds, taking both of them to showdown.
David Leja: Q♦Q♣ 
Tomas Geleziunas: A♣K♠
Leja, ahead with his queens, watched as the dealer flopped 4♦9♣6♠. Geleziunas needed an ace or a king to drop to push ahead, but the 6♥ turn didn't give that to him.
Leja needed to last one more card for a double up, but the river fell K♦ giving the pair Geleziunas the pair he had been waiting for. Geleziunas scooped the pot as Leja left the table quietly.
