Brandon Wong Likes Pocket Queens, Liz Lieu...Not So Much

[user25067]

Liz Lieu raised, Brandon Wong three-bet and Lieu called. The flop was {K-Hearts}

. Lieu checked, Wong bet, and Lieu called. The turn was the {4-Clubs}

. Lieu checked, Wong bet, Lieu raised and Wong called. The river was the {4-Spades}

and both players checked.

Wong flipped over {Q-Spades}

. Lieu looked at her hand, looked at the board, looked back at her hand, looked back at the board, and finally mucked disgustedly. She was down to only 30K after the hand, while Wong was up to 213K.
