Traniello up against a Monster

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Three players, including Marco Traniello in the big blind, got in four bets preflop. The board came out {2-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Traniello bet immediately. The player next to act folded while the third player made the call. The turn was the {8-Hearts} and this time Traniello let his opponent fire out. Traniello called and the river was the {Q-Diamonds} which Traniello check-called again.

The opponent showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and Traniello seemed upset because he flinched his arms before mucking his hand. The player who had folded the flop told the table he had a suited jack-ten and was able to save himself some money by not peeling an extra card or two.
