Esquerdo Shows Queens in Lengthy Pot
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Daniel Sanchez raised to 16,000 from middle positon and Sergio Denaro attempted to call in the small blind without realizing button Carlos Esquerdo had yet to act.
Esquerdo three-bet to 42,000 and Denaro folded. Carlos Egea tanked for a minute in the big blind before folding as action went back to Sanchez, who also tanked for a few minutes and decided to call.
The flop came 7♠10♣K♥ and Esquerdo continued for 30,000. Sanchez again tanked for several minutes until he called.
Both players checked down the 4♠ turn and 3♠ river and Esquerdo showed Q♠Q♦ to win the pot.
