Talboom's Kicker Sends Wozniak to Payouts

Level 20
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Tom Talboom opened 300,000 in early position before Mateusz Wozniak three-bet to 1,500,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back around to Talboom who dropped a stack across the line and almost opened his cards before the table let him know Wozniak was not all-in.
The 10?2?2? flop hit the felt, and Talboom announced all-in. Wozniak went into the tank, using multiple time banks before calling off his remaining 290,000.
Mateusz Wozniak: A?J?
Tom Talboom: A?Q?
Both players had ace-high, but Talboom was in the lead with his queen-kicker. The 6? turn, and 5? river were no help for Wozniak as he exited the table.
