Big Slick Versus Queens for 900K Pot

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

When we caught up with the action Shoshiro Karita had 45,000 out in front of him in the big blind and James Obst, who was in the cutoff, had made it 100,000 to go. Karita thought for about 30 seconds before announcing that he was all in, and Obst called off for 442,000 total.

Obst: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Karita: {Q-}{Q-}

It was a classic flip, but an ace in the window on the {A-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop was gin for Obst. He had taken the lead with a pair of aces and left Karita in need of a queen. The {7-Spades} turn wasn't it, and neither was the {2-Spades} river. With that, Obst doubled big through Karita.
