G Up, G Down

"Tony G" Guoga has had a busy Day 2 thus far. He picked up pocket queens on two consecutive hands with opposite results.

The first time around, the G's opponent was all in with with ace-king versus his pair. Tony hit a set on the flop and his opponent did not recover, boosting Guoga's stack to 125,000.

The following hand, Tony opened to 3,200 under the gun and was called by one player. They checked the {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop, delivering the {6-Clubs} on the turn. Tony bet 6,000 and his opponent called, landing the {2-Spades} on the river. Not slowing down, Guoga fired one final bet of 20,000, and his opponent immediately called.

"Set?" asked Tony. Sure enough, his opponent tabled {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, having bested the pocket queens this time. Still, the gregarious Guoga is up on the day, sitting with about 95,000.
