Fish Hooks Cause Iversen to Bleed

From middle position, Albert Iversen raised it up to 7,700 first into the pot. Action passed to the small blind, and the player there reraised to 20,000 straight. Iversen moved all in, and his opponent called all in himself for his remaining ~85,000.

Showdown
Iversen: {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

The board ran {3-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}, improving the overpair to the winning trip queens. After that big exchange, Iversen has been knocked down a peg, sitting with 140,000 now.
