Loeser Doubles Up

Level 9 : 300/600, 100 ante

Late registration just closed, and Manig Loeser was among the last-minute entries. He shoved from middle position for 7,500 and action folded around to the big blind.

"Where you from, man? You Euro?" asked the big blind.

"I'll tell you after you act," said Loeser with a smile.

As soon as the big blind called to put Loeser at risk, he said "Germany" as the two players tabled their hands.

Manig Loeser: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Big blind: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The big blind had the preflop edge and Loeser needed to improve in order to double up. The board ran out {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs} to give Loeser trip queens and he took the pot to double up.
