A player in early position raised to 4,000 and action folded around to Renato Nomura in the small blind. He three-bet to 12,000 and the original raiser went into the tank. After about half a minute, he jammed for 20,200, and Nomura called with a covering stack.

Renato Nomura:
Opponent:

Nomura found himself trailing his opponent's queens and needed help from the deck to win. The board ran out and Nomura's opponent stood up to make his exit.

"That's you, man," said a player at the table. "That's a queen, not a jack."

Nomura's opponent realized he had queens full, sat back down, and took the pot to double up.
