Tauss Gets a Great Flop

A player in early position opened to 300. Erica Tauss put in a three-bet to 1,100. The action folded to the small blind, who cold-called and the original raiser came along too.

The players were three ways to a flop of Q♦5♣6♠ and action checked to Tauss, who put out another bet of 1,600. Only the small blind called.

The 7♥ landed on the turn and the small blind check-called another bet from Tauss of 3,000.

The river 9♥ put four to a straight on board and it was checked to Tauss once more. She thought over her options but eventually checked back and saw the good news. The small blind tabled A♣Q♦ for top pair, top kicker and Tauss tabled Q♥Q♣ for a flopped top set.

Tauss scooped the pot to get a much needed influx of chips early on.
