Cerveny Coolers and Then Chops With Queens

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The following action took place in back-to-back hands.

Action was picked up on the flop on a board reading {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades} in a three-way pot. Ladislav Cerveny, first to act, checked and the player in the next seat over bet out 7,000, which was called by the third player in the hand. With action back on Cerveny, he check-raised to 22,000, which was met with an all-in from the next player and a fold from the third player in the hand. Cerveny made the call and was at-risk for his tournament life.

Ladislav Cerveny: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Ladislav was on the right side of a cooler and needed his hand to hold, which it did on the {j-Clubs} turn and {8-Diamonds} river.

In the second hand Cerveny's opponent from the previous hand, now under-the-gun and short-stacked, moved all in, and when action folded around to Cerveny, he made the call from his big blind.

Ladislav Cerveny: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
All-in Player: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The all-in player tabled pocket queens in back-to-back hands, which was good enough for a chop on the {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades} runout.
