Premature Celebration

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player raised it up to 10,000 from middle position, and when action folded to Alex Queen on the button he three-bet shoved. With action back on the original raiser he asked for a count, and after the dealer confirmed 42,000 total he said "Let's go," and made the call.

Alex Queen: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Original Raiser: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Queen was good preflop and on the flop of {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades}, but the dealer fanned the {j-Diamonds} on the turn and the original raiser celebrated and shouted "Yes" with one card still to come. That card was the {k-Hearts}, which gave Queen, who quietly scooped the pot, the full double-up.
