"What you got, queen-high?" inquired Turner.

Jon Turner: 3♥3♣
Mark Liedtke: A♣7♥

"Oh ace-high. I wasn't trying to get you off of that," Turner admitted.

Turner had a counterfeited pair of threes and Liedtke made the right call with ace-high to scoop a modest pot.

"I don't play this game." Liedtke explained, "I don't know what I'm doing."
