Boyd Catches a Queen

"QUEEN! QUEEEEEEEN!" shouted Craig Boyd's supporters from the rail. Their horse was all in preflop with {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. He had been called by Miika Puumalainen, who showed down {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. Boyd's friend were overjoyed when a queen but no ace flopped, {2-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {3-Clubs}. There was a mild sweat when the turn came {J-Clubs} to give Puumalainen a pair of jacks, but the river safely bricked {6-Clubs} to allow Boyd to double up from 515,000 to about 1.15 million. Puumalainen is down to 2.3 million.
