Queens Are Best for Sanders

Level 4 : 150/300, 0 ante

Two players limped in middle position, the player on the button limped, and Joseph Sanders raised to 1,500 from the small blind. All three players called.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades} and action checked around.

The {A-Spades} fell on the turn and Sanders bet 3,500. Both middle-position players folded and the button called.

The river was the {6-Diamonds} and both players checked. Sanders tabled {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{3-Clubs}, and although he missed his turned flush draw, his pocket queens were good enough to win the pot.

Filatov Keeps Firing

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Action folded to the player in the hijack and he raised to 350. The cutoff called and Aleksey Filatov called from the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Filatov tossed out a pot-sized bet of 1,100. The hijack and cutoff both called.

The {3-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Filatov potted again, this time for 4,400. The hijack called and the cutoff folded.

The river was the {9-Clubs} and Filatov bet 10,000. The hijack folded, exposing {Q-}{Q-}{7-} as he tossed his cards into the muck before the dealer pushed the pot Filatov's way.
