Patz Spikes a Queen to Get a Double Knockout
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded to Preston Patz on the button, and he raised to 10,000, before the small blind Chris Nelson three-bet to 29,000. Then Marc Fiorenti four-bet all in for 55,000. Patz then five-bet to put Nelson all in for his last 110,000, who quickly called to put himself at risk.
Marc Fiorenti: 10♦10♣ 
Chris Nelson: A♥A♣
Preston Patz: Q♠Q♦
It was a massive cooler with three big pairs in late position. Nelson was in a great spot to triple up and overtake the chip lead, but when the board ran out 7♣Q♣2♠5♦3♠ the pocket queens of Patz improved to a set of queens, which cracked the aces of Nelson, which eliminated him and Fiorenti in the process.
