Kayhan Mokri raised to 21,000 in middle position and Aleksejs Ponakovs called in the big blind.
The flop came K?9?7? and Ponakovs led out for 30,000. Mokri then raised all in and Ponakovs called for around 60,000 more.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: K?8?
Kayhan Mokri: Q?Q?
Ponakovs had outflopped Mokri's queens with a pair of kings and held up through the A? turn and 8? river to double up for the third time this level.
"I'm like Robin Hood, take from the rich to give to the poor," Mokri said.
