Fluegel Finds a Way to Beat Medyukha's Jacks
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Kevin Fluegel committed all of his 221,000 from the hijack and Evgeny Medyukha was the only caller out of the cutoff.
Kevin Fluegel: Q♦10♦ 
Evgeny Medyukha: J♥J♦
Fluegel was up against Medyukha's jacks and wanted to see a queen or some diamonds on the board. The dealer fanned out a flop of Q♣6♣5♦ to give FLuegel the lead with a pair of queens. The remainder of the board came 4♣2♠, and Fluegel doubled through Medyukha.
