Queso All Over the Place

Peter Traply was all in for 63,000 before the flop with {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}. His shove was a response to aggression from Jim Collopy, and "Mr_BigQueso" put Traply to the test with {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}. The board doubled Traply up as it came {2-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}, and Collopy fell back under 30,000.

Maybe two hands later, Collopy open-shoved for 28,700, and Joel Casper quickly called with {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. "Really?!" Collopy said, standing from his chair and turning up {K-Spades} {J-Hearts}. The flop was a big swing and a miss for the at-risk WSOP rookie, coming {4-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}. "Higher," he commanded.

Turn: {K-Diamonds}

That is indeed higher, and a good hit for Queso. The river {J-Clubs} made him two pair just for good measure, and he's doubled back to about 60,000 now.
