The third player folded, and the hands were opened:

Opponent: 
The 
flop gave Steury a leading pair of queens, but his opponent could make Broadway with any

, 
respectively however, and Steury took down the pot.
"I wish I folded," Steury admitted after the hand.
The fortunate knockout has Steury up to around 75,000 chips.
