Bryan Neira opened from under the gun to 13,000, John McGuinness called in the hijack and the dealer fanned out {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} on the board.

Both players checked through to the {8-Hearts} turn card where Neira bet 17,000 and McGuinness called. A {j-Clubs} completed the board, both players checked and Neira tabled {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for a pair of queens, McGuinness mucked.
