Queens Versus Queens

David Kluchman raised to 75,000 from middle position, then Fabio Sousa reraised to 190,000 from the cutoff. It folded back to Kluchman who called Sousa's raise.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Kluchman checked, and Sousa fired 265,000. Kluchman leaned forward to ask how much Sousa had behind — about 950,000. Kluckman sat back in his seat, paused a few moments, then said he was all in. Sousa didn't act immediately, but before long said he was calling.

Sousa: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Kluchman: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The first reaction was chuckles all around. Then Kluchman noted how Sousa was freerolling with his heart. The {10-Hearts} on the turn made things even more interesting in that regard, giving Sousa a flush draw. But the river was the {3-Spades}, and the pair chopped the pot, shaking hands across the table afterwards after having engaged in battle and both coming out unscathed.
