This hand went down at my table yesterday, and I thought it was a pretty texbook example of why KQ is a horrid hand to play in a big, raised pot.
I am in the 800 TC big blind with XX. UTG makes it 3k. A very strong WPT pro makes it 9k. Folded to UTG who calls.
The flop is QJ7 with 7 diamonds. UTG bets 18k, which is about 1/2 his stack. The pro thinks for about 10 seconds and goes all-in. UTG, now severely pot-stuck, thinks for a minute and calls, because he has little choice. He flips over KQ. The pro has AA.
