Long Can't Hold With Queens
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Alexander Farahi opened the action with a raise to 30,000 from under the gun, and was called by Hattori Lopez on the button. Once it folded Colleen Long in the big blind, she three-bet all in for 275,000. Farahi then four-bet all in for his stack of 350,000, which made Lopez get out of the way to leave the players heads up, with Long at risk.
Colleen Long: Q♠Q♦ 
Alexander Farahi: A♣K♦
Long was at risk but ahead for the moment with her pocket queens. The 5♣2♣5♥ changed nothing, but when the A♠ hit on the turn, it put Farahi in front, leaving Long with just two outs and just one card to come. The river was the 3♥ which meant the pair of aces for Farahi were good, to take the pot and eliminate Long.
