Can You Guess This Players Hand?

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

The action was picked up on a 63228 board, and Alex Faynshteyn had bet 13,500 from early position. Michael Wainer responded with the ultimate pressure; having the stack of Faynshteyn covered, he moved all in.

After spending several minutes in the tank, Faynshteyn elected to fold before giving Wainer an easy riddle to solve, which let him know what he folded.

"I folded a hand I'm not supposed to fold", continuing, "I couldn't beat aces, but I could beat queens. I had the second-best starting hand possible."
