Deepankur Gupta: K♦ K♣

Thanh's Queens Ship Some Chips
Dinh Tien Thanh peeked into pocket queens from under the gun and made a min-raise when Nang Quang Nguyen re-popped to 110,000 from the next seat with an A♦ 8♦ .
Thanh took another peek at his Q♠ Q♥ , threw in a few time-bank cards, wondered if a samurai sword would be efficient against zombies, then just made the call.
The flop came 8♣ 2♠ 3♠ which both checked to reveal a J♣ on the turn.
Thanh then fired all-in for 387,000.
Nguyen went into some deep breathing meditation while chucking some time-bank tokens, before also chucking his cards to the muck.
