Lilius' Queen Beats Brenes' Jacks

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Humberto Brenes, in the big blind, was heads-up against Taus Lilius who was under the gun and the flop was down {6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. There was already 22,000 in the middle at this point, and both players checked to see the {9-Diamonds} turn. Brenes bet 11,000 and Lilius called, which brought the {8-Diamonds} river and both players checked.

Humberto Brenes: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Taus Lilius: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

Lilius' two pair queens-and-eights was enough for him to take down the pot from the Costa Rican Brenes.
