Three Queens for Kruse

Level 4

Pot-Limit Omaha

Max Kruse limped from the hijack, Jonathan Krela limped from the cutoff, Patrick Stacey limped from the small blind, and Chance Kornuth potted to 12,500 from the big blind, which all three opponents called.

The 1073 flop checked through to the Q turn which saw Kornuth lead for 38,000, and only Kruse called.

Kornuth then checked the K river, and Kruse took some time before he elected to check behind.

"Queen-ten," Kornuth announced.

Kruse replied, "No good," showing QQ97 for a set of queens as he laughed, "I was trying to trap, but it was so bad."

"I would have check-folded on the river, anyway," Kornuth responded as the ex-footballer collected the pot.
