Allain Cautious with Queens

[user75032]

We had our first multi-way pot of the day that didn't involve an all-in player. Adrien Allain opened to 30,000 and was called by small blind David Steicke and big blind J.C. Tran. Steicke and Tran checked an all-small flop, {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

. Allain made a bet of 70,000 that only Steicke called.

Both players checked the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

turn and the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

river. Steicke might have thought his {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

ace-high had a chance to drag the pot, but Allain turned up two queens -- {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

-- to take it down.
