Adam Adler raised from middle position, the player in the small blind reraised enough to put him all in, and Adler called all in for 54,000 with QhQc.

The small blind turned over AdQd, and Adler needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Ks9c7s7h10c, and the pocket queens held up for Adler to win the pot and double up in chips.
