Cruce Fades Hearts and Doubles Up
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Action was picked up with a pot brewing between Sarah Cruce and her opponent. The board was showing 3♥9♦2♥ with 14,100 in the pot.
A player in middle position checked to Cruce on the button, and she bet out 10,000. Then her opponent raised her all in for her stack of 37,100, which she quickly called.
Sarah Cruce: Q♠Q♦ 
Middle Position: J♥7♥
Cruce was ahead with her pocket queens, but would need to fade the flush draw of her opponent to stay in the tournament. The board ran out 6♠ on the turn and 5♣ on the river, and Cruce's pocket queens held up, to give her the double up.
