Benson Folds Queens; Shaikh Doubles with Aces

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

After a raise to 1,500, Adeel Shaikh three-bet to 3,300 with just under starting stack in total. Gary Benson gave it some thought and then mucked to see the initial raiser move all in. Shaikh snap-called and his opponent immediately asked "You got Aces?", which the Australian confirmed by flipping over {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}.

"I folded queens. You were just too short," Benson added to the discussion and the opponent flipped over {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. The board ran out {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Shaikh doubled.
