Aces Versus Kings (and Queens Fold!)

Mike Patrick

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

"You gotta be f***ing kidding me" was recently heard in the corner of the Amazon purple section, as Sean Dunleavy was just crushed in a hand with Keegan Westover.

Amanda Baker opened the action in early position to 1,200 and Westover three-bet to 3,500 in middle position. A player in late position flatted the 3,500 and then Dunleavy shoved all-in for 65,000. Baker folded what she later said was pocket queens, Westover called the 65,000 and the late position player folded.

The cards were turned up and Baker's fold turned out to be perfect.

Sean Dunleavy:
Keegan Westover:

Dunleavy was in the dream situation, but as can often happen, the dream turned into a nightmare as the flop came , bringing a set for Westover. The turn and river brought no help, and Dunleavy's day was brought to a heartbreaking end, while Westover is now in contention for the day 1b chip lead.
