Erickson Shows Queens

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

John Erickson opened to 3,000 in early position, finding a call from Wei Xiao in the big blind.

Xiao checked the 592 flop, making another call when Erickson continued for 4,000. Xiao checked again on the 3 turn, and Erickson took a look at his cards before announcing all in.

That produced a fold from Xiao, and Erickson revealed QQ while raking in the pot.
