Everybody folded to Vadim Baranovsky in the cutoff, who moved all in for 96,000 chips. The button folded, as did the small blind. But when Jorge Hou looked at his cards in the big blind, he had no choice but to call.
Vadim Baranovsky: Q♠10♠
Jorge Hou: J♣J♦
Baranovsky tried to take the blinds but found Hou in his way. However, Baranovsky hit a pair of queens on A♣3♠2♥Q♣6♣. He is good for a double up and now has more than 200,000 chips. At the same time, Hou is down to 14 blinds.
