Black's Squeeze Not Really a Squeeze

We stood over Maria Ho, Nenad Medic and Andy Black's table for a few minutes, hoping to see some action. It took three hands to find it.

With Black in the big blind, action opened from middle position for 550. The cutoff, Medic (on the button) and the small blind all called that raise before Black re-raised to 2,800. Each player folded in turn to the small blind, who called all in for about the same amount.

Black: {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}
Small Blind: {J-Diamonds} {9-Spades}

The board rolled out {4-Hearts} {5-Spades} {4-Spades} {Q-Spades} {2-Hearts}, no help for Black's opponent. He busted as Black's count increased to 16,000. Medic made a motion at the board.

"Hit you?" Black asked.

"King-jack," Medic replied.

"Spades?"

"What else would king-jack hit?" Medic asked.

"I thought you might be joking," said Black.
