Engel Wins the Classic Race
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded to a player in early position who raised to 200,000. When it folded to Ari Engel in the cutoff, he three-bet to 575,000. After it folded back to the player in early position, he four-bet all in, and Engel quickly made the call.
Early Position: A?K? 
Ari Engel: Q?Q?
It was a classic race between queens and ace-king, and when the board ran out 5?5?9?6?10? Engel's pocket queens were still best, to give him the pot and eliminate his opponent.
