Queens Good for Carbo
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
With around 25,000 in the pot on a 7♠3♣9♦ flop, Fabrizio Lo Carbo, had bet 8,000 from the hijack and Stefan Cupic called in the cutoff. Rashad Iskandarov, who initially checked the flop from the big blind, then made it 45,000. Carbo moved all in for 71,000, Cupic folded, and Iskandarov called.
Fabrizio Lo Carbo: Q♦Q♣ 
Rashad Iskandarov: A♣9♣
Carbo was well ahead with his overpair, and the hand was all over when the Q♠ turn improved him to an unbeatable set. A meaningless 10♠ filled out the board, and Carbo raked in a healthy pot as the bubble edges closer.
