Queen Has Reasons For Optimism

David Salituro

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Michael Wang raised to 4,000 in early position, Alexander Queen moved all in for 25,000 in middle position, and Wang called.

Alexander Queen: 9♦9♣ All in
Michael Wang: A♦Q♠

The Q♦10♣9♠ flop gave Wang top pair, but Queen had made a set. "I feel pretty confident about this one," Queen said heading to the turn, which came the 9♥.

"How about now?" the dealer asked him as Queen improved to quads. The river was the 4♦ and he took in the double up.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 9♥7♦4♣, Shannon Shorr bet 13,000 from the small blind and Brock Wilson called in the hijack.

The turn was the Q♦ and Shorr moved all in for 27,000. Wilson quickly called and turned over A♦J♦ for a flush draw, while Shorr had A♣9♦ for a pair of nines.

Wilson couldn't connect with the 3♠ river, and Shorr held on to earn the double up.

Sergei Kislinskii: A♥Q♠ All in
Joshua Mammen: 9♥9♣

Mammen remained in the lead with his nines as the board ran out 4♣5♠8♣J♣, but Kislinskii caught the Q♦ on the river to make top pair and earn the double up.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jeremy Wien raised to 4,000 and Erik Seidel stuck in a three-bet from the blinds. Wien four-bet shoved all in for 61,000 and Seidel called, having Wien barely covered.

Jeremy Wien: A♦K♠ All in
Erik Seidel: K♥K♦

The flop came 5♥4♥2♠ and Wien picked up a straight draw to go with his one overcard. The turn was the K♣ and Wien was down to just four outs. The 10♣ on the river was not one of them as Wien headed for the exit.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Nate Silver was in middle position with a raise of 12,000 in front of him before Jeremy Ausmus reraised to 26,000 in the big blind. Silver called and they saw a flop of 10♥5♠2♥.

Ausmus then continued for 15,000, and Silver called. The turn was the 6♣ and Ausmus slid forward a tower of chips, enough to put Silver all in.

Silver had around 55,000 remaining and tanked for a minute before eventually tossing away his cards.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Paul Gunness and Michael Rossitto built a pot of around 50,000 as they went heads-up to the 4♣2♠5♠ flop. Rossito then bet 10,000 from the button, and Gunness called in the cutoff.

Both players checked down the Q♠ turn and J♦ river, and Gunness showed 8♠8♦.

"That's the exact hand I put you on," tablemate Lucy Lamperouge said.

"That's why you're the best player left. You're always right," Gunness replied while raking in the pot.

"That's what I put you on, too. You have a tell," Matthew Lambrecht added with a tinge of sarcasm.

Petrangelo continued with a bet of 25,000 on the flop and Andrews called to see the 2♥ on the turn. Petrangelo checked this time and Andrews checked it back to the 4♦ on the river. Both players tapped the table again and Petrangelo showed A♦Q♦ for ace-high while Andrews held 5♥5♣ for two pair to win the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Benjamin Palmer raised to 4,000 under the gun before Michael Gathy three-bet to 11,000 in middle position. Palmer then moved all in for 92,000, and Gathy snap-called.

Benjamin Palmer: Q♦Q♥ All in
Michael Gathy: A♥K♥

The two players were off to the races in a classic flip situation as the flop came K♦9♦8♣ to give Gathy the lead with top pair. The turn was the 6♣, but Palmer spiked the Q♠ on the river to make a set and double up.
