Klier's Queen Hits for Him to Double Up

Level 10 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was folded to the hijack who led for 6,000. Action then folded to Ben Klier in the big blind, who shoved for 34,000. The hijack quickly found the call, and the players tabled their hands.

Klier: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Hijack: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The players wished each other luck as the dealer began to laying down cards. Klier connected immediately, as the flop came {q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, giving him top pair, but giving the hijack a flush draw. The runout came {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}, meaning Klier's top pair held, and he doubled up.
