Moore is the Queen of Spades; Meli Gets Clock Called
Vincent Meli raised to 60,000 under the gun, Patricia Moore called on the button, and Yuanzhi Cao defended his big blind.
The wheel spun, J♣2♦9♣ Cao checked and Meli continued for 125,000 and only Moore called.
The turn peeled off the 8♣ and Meli continued again for 130,000, Moore called.
The river completed with the 9♠ and Meli slowed down with a check. Moore cut out 350,000 and pushed it forward.
After a long tank, a player who wasn't in the hand called clock on Meli and he ultimately released his hand as the last few seconds of the clock ticked.
"Want to see one?", Moore asked as she was awarded the pot. Meli indicated he did and Moore showed him the one he wasn't pointing at. The Q♠ flashed and when asked if she had queen-ten, she said, "I forgot already...." as she did her accounting.
