With the board showing QsJd8s3c on the turn, John Utley checks from UTG+1, and the player next to him moves all in from middle position for 24,200.

The player in the hijack folds, and Utley calls with AsAh for an overpair. The all-in player turns over KdQh for a pair of queens, and he needs to improve to stay alive.

The river card was the 6c, and Utley wins the pot with his pocket aces to eliminate his opponent.
