A Queen from Heaven

Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Kenneth Kemple raised to 175,000 on the button, Danny Gonzales three-bet shoved from the small blind, and Kemple had a decision for his stack of 2,070,000 total. Kemple gave it twenty seconds of thought before calling it off.
Kenneth Kemple: Q?Q?
Danny Gonzales: K?K?
The flop came down Q?9?9? to swing Kemple in the lead. Neither the 3? turn nor 6? river turned it around for Gonzales, who took a big hit.
