Ladies Help Newey to Double Up
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Aliaksandr Hirs made it 120,000 to go from under the gun and Paul Newey shoved from the cutoff for 475,000. When it got back to Hirs, he thought for some time before he flicked in the call.
Paul Newey: Q♦Q♠ 
Aliaksandr Hirs: A♦7♦
Newey was well ahead with his queens and extended his lead on the Q♣9♥J♣ flop as he made top set. An 8♣ on the turn meant Hirs could only chop the pot with a river ten, but the A♥ wasn't what he needed, and Newey doubled up.
