Houck Bests Bousman With a Better Queen

Clint Houck three-bet to 3,200 on the button and Joan Bousman called in the hijack.

Houck continued for 2,000 on the 5♠Q♠6♥ flop, and Bousman called. Bousman then led out for 2,200 on the 3♦ turn, and Houck called.

Bousman checked the 8♦ river, then quickly called when Houck bet 3,500. Houck showed K♥Q♥ for top pair, and Bousman mucked Q♦7♦.

Josh Mischel, who won the $600 event earlier this festival, just joined the field, as did Matthew Zambanini.
