Katz Has Queens

Joao Simao raised from the cutoff and Cary Katz was the lone caller from the big blind.

The flop was A♣K♦2♥ and Katz check-called a bet from Simao to see 5♣ on the turn.

Both players checked the turn and Simao checked back again on the river.

"Nice check," Katz said as he flipped over Q♦Q♣. "You're too good."

Simao tossed the losing hand in the muck.

Elsewhere, defending champion Jonathan Cohen has bowed out.
