Queens Into Kings for Guerrero

Matthew Warburton

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Conor Beresford raised from early position and Frederic Breton reraised to 900,000. Jimmy Guerrero then four-bet to 2,000,000 and Beresford folded. Breton went into the tank. He discussed and deliberated and then announced that his opponent, "must have f*cking kings".

Eventually he made the call and players flipped their cards. Guerrero had Breton covered.

Frederic Breton: K♣K♠
Jimmy Guerrero: Q♦Q♠

Breton did indeed have kings and Guerrero had run into a cooler. The board came 10♠8♦K♥A♣5♣. Breton made a set of kings and won the pot, bringing his stack up to over six million chips. Guerrero was left with just over one million.
