Monroe Frozen

A player in middle position raised to open the pot, and Teddy Monroe three-bet from late position to get himself heads up going to the flop.

It came {6-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {8-Spades}, and Mr. Middle Position checked. Teddy Monroe bet, he raised, Monroe reraised, and the middle-position player called.

The turn brought the {J-Diamonds}, and Monroe's final bet put him all in, and he was quickly put to the test for his tournament life. The {6-Diamonds} filled out the board.

Monroe tabled {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} for the overpair, but it was no good. His opponent showed up {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}, and pocket aces are enough to send Iceman back to his freezer. He's all smiles, though.
