Givens Takes With Queens
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The hand was picked up with big blind Dragan Dimishkov, Ihar Soika, who was under the gun and William Givens, the button, all in preflop.
The board hit 8♦10♠K♦. Dimishkov checked. Soika bet 8,000. Givens raised to 23,000.
After Dimishkov folded, Soika moved all in. Givens made the call with his last 50,000 chips.
William Givens: Q♦6♠
Ihar Soika: A♣A♥
Soika's pair of aces were up against Givens' flush draw and random backdoor possibilities. Well, the turn and river being Q♥Q♠ brought in one of the oddities, as Givens took down the pot with trip queens.
