Roux Hits One-Outer Quads Against Aces

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Jonathan Roux was all in preflop and up against pocket aces, and when the flop came down it seemed like he was destined for the payout desk.

Roux's pocket queens hit a set on the {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, but the aces also hit a set, leaving Roux with just the one out. But by some miracle that one card came to his rescue after the {q-Hearts} was revealed on the turn. There was no ace on the river, which meant Roux doubled to 390,000.

Roux added that it wasn't the first time he came from behind today with pocket queens after he had earlier defeated pocket kings.
