Pre flop A Hussain raises to 1200 but behind him Christopher Brice moves all in for 5225 and Amir Amrabadi calls.
Hussain is forced to fold and shows AJ before Brice flips over Q Q which is in decent shape as Amrabadi has already seen one of the cards he needs for his A K go in the muck.
It’s all over by the turn as 7 6 4 Q J make a set of queens for Brice and he’s back in the game.

Trouble's Garfoot

Fri, Sep 19th 2008, 20:45 by Reporter

With the board reading A K 4 Q, Mustafa Sepanji bet 3000 into a pot of around 5000. Geoff Garfoot moved all-in for a further 11500 and Sepanji went into the tank. He had Garfoot comfortably covered but the call still represented a big decision with the blinds at just 200/400. He eventually made the call with A Q, a surprisingly modest hand given the board and the action. Garfoot shrugged his shoulders and exposed his K Q for a worse two pair. Garfoot needed a king to win with a full house but it was Sepanji who boated up when the A rivered.
