Queens No Match for Aces as Stalman Prevails Over Slezak
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Philippe Stalmans raised to 7,000 from middle position and was called by Robert Slezak in the big blind.
The dealer revealed a 5♣K♣4♦ flop, Slezak checked, Stalman bet 6,000 and Slezak called.
The turn card was the A♦. Slezak checked once again, and this time, Stalman bet 14,000. Slezak mucked his hand, revealing Q♠Q♣, and mentioned that he had planned to go all in on a flop where his queens were still an overpair, but this was not that flop. Stalman, being a gentleman, kindly showed Slezak A♥Ax, proving that what initially seemed like a bad board for Slezak was not the case.
