Eskes Doubles Against Unexpected Holding
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
With the pot counting 15,000 chips, Tjenno Eskes pushed all his 19,700 chips in from the big blind on a completed board of 8♠5♥Q♦6♣10♥. His opponent was Rudolf Kosa on the button, who took some time before calling off.
Eskes tabled Q♣J♥ for top pair, doubling up when Kosa was forced to show Q♥9♠ for the same pair with a lower kicker.
"I didn't expect a queen," Eskes admitted as he raked in the pot.
"I know, that's why I have to call," Kosa replied.
