Long Can't Hold With Queens
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Alexander Farahi opened the action with a raise to 30,000 from under the gun, and was called by Hattori Lopez on the button. Once it folded Colleen Long in the big blind, she three-bet all in for 275,000. Farahi then four-bet all in for his stack of 350,000, which made Lopez get out of the way to leave the players heads up, with Long at risk.
Colleen Long: Q?Q? 
Alexander Farahi: A?K?
Long was at risk but ahead for the moment with her pocket queens. The 5?2?5? changed nothing, but when the A? hit on the turn, it put Farahi in front, leaving Long with just two outs and just one card to come. The river was the 3? which meant the pair of aces for Farahi were good, to take the pot and eliminate Long.
