Estes Catches a Queen to Lighten The Field
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Michael Estes got into a preflop-raising war from under the gun against one other player in the hijack that resulted in them getting all in preflop. Estes had his opponent covered.
Hijack: A♣A♠
Michael Estes: Q♠Q♦
Estes had run into the preflop nuts and the 5♠5♥7♣ flop was of no help; however, the Q♥ turn vaulted Estes into the lead with a set of queens and the river bricked out to keep Estes in front — eliminating his opponent from contention.
