Cruz Finds a Queen to Bust Aiba

Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Vaclav Drbal opened to 5,500 from early position with Luis Rodriguez Cruz calling from middle position. Koichi Aiba three-bet shoved four roughly 30,000 from the cutoff, which only Cruz called.
Koichi Aiba: K?K?
Luis Rodriguez Cruz: Q?Q?
Alba looked set to double through Cruz with pocket kings. However, the runout of 8?2?10?Q?9? gave Cruz the winner with a set of queens on the turn, sending Aiba out the door.
