Durkin Wins at Showdown
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
There was around 60,000 in the middle on a board reading 
and Gerald Siemienas had checked from the big blind to put action onto William Durkin, who bet 25,000 from middle position. Siemienas thought for a few moments and called.
The river came 
and both players checked to take the hand to showdown.
Siemienas showed 
for a pair of nines and Durkin tabled 
, good to earn him the pot with his pair of queens.
