Liu Can Handle Queens

Preflop, J.J. Liu made it 900 to go when Joe Awada raised to 2,500. Liu called and the flop fell {J-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {4-Spades}. Liu checked the flop and Awada quickly fired 3,500 in. Liu raised to 8,500 and Awada got out of the way, saying, "You've got a huge hand. I know it."

The secret stayed with Liu, as she mucked without showing.
