Cross Finds a Queen
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A player from middle position raised to 6,000 and Martin Kabrhel called in the hijack. Acton folded to the big blind Peter Cross, who three-bet all in for 83,000. The player in middle position made the call, and Kabrhel got out of the way, leaving the players heads up.
Peter Cross: A♦Q♥ 
Middle Position: 10♦10♠
It was a fair fight with Cross having two over cards to the pocket 10s. When the board ran out 9♥J♣Q♦ on the flop, it improved cross to a pair of Queens but gave his opponent an open-ended straight draw. But the 6♠ on the turn and 4♥ were safe ones for Cross and secured the double up.
