Queens Good for Stankevics
Level 32
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Guillermo Gordo opened to 300,000 from the button with 7♣6♣, and was faced with a three-bet to 950,000 from Krisjanis Stankevics in the big blind with Q♥Q♣.
Gordo made the call to see the A♣8♦3♣ flop, where Stankevics check-called in the face of a bet of 400,000 from Gordo.
The 5♠ hit on the turn to give Gordo a wrap draw to sit alongside his flush draw, and Stankevics checked once more.
Gordo slid out a bet of 850,000, and Stankevics called.
The 8♥ river paired the board, and was a brick for Gordo.
Stankevics checked for a third time, and Gordo could not find a triple-barrel bluff and checked back, Stankevics taking a big pot.
