A Call with Queen High...and It's Good

In the last hand of the night J.C. Alvarado faced a 11,200 bet on a board of
{8-Spades} {6-Spades} {3-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {K-Spades} from Juha Helppi.

Although it was a relitivly small bet, Alvarado went into the tank for several minutes. Finally he decided to make the call.

Helppi showed {J-Clubs} {9-Spades} for complete air. Alvarado's hand?

{Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs}

Queen high.

Alvarado takes the pot and ends the night with 102,000.
