Queens Hold for Goldman
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Kenneth Hicks got the action rolling from the hijack, but Noah Goldman wasn’t letting him get away that easily. Goldman put in a three-bet to 14,500 from the cutoff, only for Hicks to ramp up the pressure with a four-bet to 40,000. Goldman took a moment, then made the call to take a flop.
The K♣7♠K♦ flop didn’t inspire much confidence from either player, and both opted to check it down.
The passive line continued through the 10♠ turn and 9♣ river, sending the hand straight to showdown.
Goldman tabled Q♣Q♦, good for kings and queens, and that was more than enough to take it down as Hicks mucked his cards.
