Gleissner Runs Into McEwan's Queens

Tim Baker
Tim Baker
Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Bernd Gleissner jammed for 77,000 from the hijack, and Matthew McEwan moved in over the top for around 90,000 from the button. Once the rest of the table folded, the cards were tabled.

Bernd Gleissner: 6♥6♠ All in
Matthew McEwan: Q♠Q♥

Gleissner had made the money, but now looked destined for the rail with the inferior pocket pair.

Nothing changed on the 2♦A♥3♦4♦A♠ runout, meaning McEwan's queens held up to send Gleissner out of the tournament.
