Ramirez Avoids the Queen
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
The under-the-gun player raised to 180,000, the action folded around to George Ramirez on the button, and he jammed for 560,000. The blinds got out of the way and the under-the-gun player snap called while rolling his hand face up.
George Ramirez: A♦Q♥
Under-The-Gun Player: K♣J♣
Ramirez was in the lead and the A♣10♥6♥ flop gave him top pair. "Not a queen again," cried Ramirez as he stood up from the table.
However, the queen never came to give his opponent a straight as the board completed with the 9♣ on the turn and the 9♠ on the river.
