Koutoupas Slow Plays Queens

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Thomas Bichon opened for 35,000 and Sotirios Koutoupas made the call in position.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Bichon continued for 42,000, Koutoupas made the call.

The {2-Spades} hit the turn and Bichon bet 100,000. Koutoupas again just called.

Both players checked the {7-Spades} on the river and Bichon showed {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for the missed flush draw. Koutoupas tabled {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and took it down.

"I'm trying to mix it up," laughed Koutoupas.
