Blinds: 75/150
"Trag550" opened to 498 from under the gun and both "YellowDuck16" on the button and "mrmonkey" in the big blind made the call.
The flop came A♠K♠3♣ and all three players checked around to the Q♥ turn. "mrmonkey" let out for 829 and only "YellowDuck16" called.
On the Q♦ river "mrmonkey" kept up the aggression with a bet of 2,487 and "YellowDuck16" snap-called. "mrmonkey" rolled over 3♦3♠7♥4♥ for threes-full, but was no good when "YellowDuck16" revealed A♥Q♠10♥5♦ for rivered queens-full to scoop the pot.
