Another One Bites the Dust

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Yuji Masaki raised to 18,000 from middle position and Alex Queen three-bet him to 47,000. It folded back to Masaki who moved all in and Queen wasted little time making the call.

Masaki: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Queen: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The flop was {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}. At this point Masaki was standing up and mumbling to himself, presumably urging the board to stay clean. However, the turn was the {a-Spades} and he went from mumbling to shouting a loud "No!". The river {4-Spades} was no help. After the count, they figured out that Queen had him covered, resulting in Masaki goning busto and Queen sitting with a 740,000-chip stack.
