Devries Spikes a Queen to Bust Three
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Carl Devries had a raise of 7,000 in front of him from the small blind before James Armstrong moved all in for 10,900 in the big blind. Lee Nguyen reshoved for 53,000 in early position, and another opponent in middle position shoved for 33,000. Devries went deep into the tank, taking a few minutes before calling with the biggest stack of the four.
James Armstrong: J♠5♦
Middle-Position Player: A♦A♣
Lee Nguyen: A♠K♠
Carl Devries: Q♦Q♥
The middle-position player was ahead with his aces, but the flop brought Q♣9♠2♦ to give Devries top set. The rest of the board ran out 4♥4♠ and Devries improved to a full house to send all three opponents to the rail.
"I almost didn't call," he said as he raked in the massive pot.
