Action folded to a player in early position who raised to 200,000. When it folded to Ari Engel in the cutoff, he three-bet to 575,000. After it folded back to the player in early position, he four-bet all in, and Engel quickly made the call.
Early Position: A♦K♠
Ari Engel: Q♠Q♣
It was a classic race between queens and ace-king, and when the board ran out 5♠5♣9♠6♦10♥ Engel's pocket queens were still best, to give him the pot and eliminate his opponent.
