Tardea Counterfeits Opponent

Christian Tardea was in the small blind against a player on the button. The button had raised preflop and Tardea reraised. The button then called.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} and the two got all in. Tardea held {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}, but the button flopped two pair with {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} and the river the {10-Hearts}, counterfeiting the button's two pair and making Tardea's queen kicker play.

Tardea now has 545,000.
