Cleophas Chips Up and Knocks a Player Out
Level 8
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Grant Hart raised to 12,000 from under the gun, and when it folded to Shawn Cleophas on the button, he three-bet all in for 56,000. The small blind folded before a player in the big blind went all in as well for 28,000. Hart got out of the way to leave the players heads up, with the big blind at risk.
Big Blind: 7♦5♦ 
Shawn Cleophas: A♦Q♥
Cleophas was ahead with his ace high, and once the board ran out Q♦9♣5♣J♠3♠ he improved to a pair of queens to take the pot and knock his opponent out.
