Owen Hits a Queen to Crack Pal's Kings

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player had his last 29,000 in from the cutoff, Adam Owen had his last 73,000 in from the small blind, and Carlos Pal had them both at risk on the button.

Opponent: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Adam Owen: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Carlos Pal: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The {7-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Spades} flop gave all three players a flush draw, but it added a straight and straight flush draw for the pocket eights. The {j-Clubs} turn gave the eights a double-gutter straight draw, but Owen found a queen on the {q-Clubs} river to earn the cutoff's bounty and double through Pal.
