Spataru Rakes a Small One With Queens
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Andrei Spataru made it 30,000 to go from middle position and Kirill Shcherbakov called in the cutoff. Bart Lybaert also called from the big blind.
The three went to a flop of 9♥9♦7♣ where it checked to Shcherbakov, who bet 30,000. Both Lybaert and Spataru called to see the 2♣ drop on the turn, which checked through.
A 3♠ completed the board and again it checked around. Lybaert instantly mucked without showing, Spataru showed a slowly-played Q♣Q♦, and Shcherbakov mucked.
