Top Two No Good

Tim West  - Event #34
Tim West - Event #34
We caught up to this hand on the turn. With the board reading {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {2-Spades} and decent pile of chips already in the pot, Tim West led out from under the gun for 1,650. His lone opponent, playing from the cutoff seat, put in a min-raise and made it 3,300 to play.

West made the call and the {9-Spades} hit the river. West checked and the cutoff seat bet 3,000. West raised to 10,000 and his opponent called all in. The players showed:

West: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

West's set of queens were good and he trimmed the field by one and took his stack to just shy of 30,000 on the hand.
