Hancock Plays the Squeeze

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The player under the gun raised to 17,000 and a middle position player flatted. Michael Hancock decided it was the perfect squeeze spot and three-bet all in for 67,000. The player under the gun called and the middle position player folded. A board was looming.

Under-the-Gun Player: AQ

The board arrived with 6KJJ9 and the fours somehow survived that jungle. Hancock stated, "It was the perfect squeeze spot, but I was on my way back to my room."
