My first big pot, USD 2k+ (Macau 2010)

Well, USD 2k pot is not a considered huge to most pros but considering my bankroll was just around the same, I doubled my bankroll in one hand, so it was a big deal to me then. Okay, I know poor bankroll management to be playing that high. But it was my first time playing in Macau when poker was just starting off there, so I thought I had to play.

Blinds were HKD 10-25, about USD 1.20-3. I was one the button and I had QQ. everybody limped the 25 to me on the button. Pot was already 175 ish so I raised to 200. Everybody freaking called except one guy folded. Came to the hijack position he shoved all in 295 total. Dang. It was an underraise, so I couldn't reraise. But how could I fold Queens there? So I called and everybody else did too. Pot is now about HKD 2800. 

Flop comes 266. Someone leads out like HKD 400 (yes the game was fishy at the time), I reraised to HKD 1500. Small blind calls, big blind goes all in for like HKD 1900. Donk bettor calls, I am like, no one is folding so I just called, small blind goes all in almost same size. Suddenly the pot is like HKD 10k. 

Turn is another 6. Heads up with the donk bettor. He bets like 5k into the pot with 300 behind. I am like what is going on??? I just called, river blank, check check. Yeah I know I should have put him all in, but anyhew....

Funny thing was all 9 players called preflop except one and he claimed he had 26o. Hahaha.
