Corcione's Queens Crush Keranen's Rockets

Robert Corcione and Kyle Keranen traded bets back and forth through the turn, at which point the board showed {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and more than 1.5 million worth of chips lay scattered around the community cards. That's when Keranen led with a bet of 675,000, then Corcione responded by reraising to 1.4 million total, leaving himself but 375,000 or so behind.

Keranen thought for a few moments, then said he was pushing all in and Corcione quickly called. Keranen tabled {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}, but was well behind the set Corcione had flopped with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

The river brought the {4-Clubs}, and Corcione improved his status chip-wise considerably while Keranen takes a tumble.
