Lappin Plays His Queens Cautiously
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ronald Steinmetz bet 7,000 on the turn with the board showing 5♦10♠9♠J♣ and Didier Pitcho called under the gun, as did David Lappin in the hijack.
Steinmetz checked the 8♦ river and Pitcho bet 13,000. Lappin called and Steinmetz got out of the way. Pitcho turned over A♦J♠, but Lappin had Q♠Q♣ for a straight to win the pot.
"I was worried about the nine and the ten. Mister king queen over there," Lappin said as he crossed the 200,000 milestone.
