Ohhh, SusieQue

Susie Moncek
Susie Moncek
A player in late position opened with a raise to 1,300, and Susie "SusieQue" Moncek came over the top with a three-bet to 3,000 from the button. Next door, small blind Joe Tehan began stacking out chips, and he put out an additional raise to what looked like 9,200. That was enough to fold the original raiser, but SusieQue wasn't going anywhere. With a quiet, "All right," Moncek grabbed all 13,275 of her remaining chips and shoved them forward. Tehan flicked the calling chips off of his stack to put his opponent at risk.

Showdown
Moncek: {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}
Tehan: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}

The flop came down {9-Clubs} {2-Spades} {3-Hearts}, and Tehan held his arms out as if he was shocked to miss. The turn {2-Diamonds} kept Moncek's jacks in the lead, and the {9-Hearts} that filled out the board secured her a very timely late-day double up.
