McHugh Runs Queens Into Rusnak's Aces

Level 33 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Shyam Srinivasan raised to 325,000 from middle position and Francis Rusnak just called from the cutoff. Colin McHugh was in the small blind and reraised to 1,300,000. Srinivasan quickly got out of the way and Rusnak shoved all in for 2,795,000. McHugh asked for a count and then made the call.

Rusnak turned over {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} while McHugh had {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The flop came {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Rusnak's aces were still out front. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and McHugh was left drawing to one of two queens in the deck. The dealer burned and slid the {k-Diamonds} across the board as the rail almost exploded, thinking it was a queen. As it turned out, Rusnak held on to score a double-up.
