Houayek Stays Around With Queens
Level 5
: Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante
Joseph Houayek, Andrey Pateychuk, Fikret Akgul, and Dogan Gungor built a pot of around 40,000 as they went four-handed to a flop of 2♣K♦5♦.
Houayek then bet 7,000 from the button before Gungor raised to 21,000 in middle position. Pateychuk and Akgul got out of the way, but Houayek stuck around and called.
Both players checked down the A♣ turn and J♥ river as Gungor showed J♦9♦ for a missed flush draw and Houayek turned over Q♠Q♦ to win the pot.
"Thank you, my friend. I needed the chips," Houayek said.
