Meola Cracks Queens

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mark Forster limped in early position, John Meola raised to 25,000 in middle position, and Brian Kay called in late position. Forster got out of the way.

Meola led out for 10,000 on the 532 flop and Kay called, bringing the 3 turn, where both players checked.

Both players checked again on the K river, and Meola tabled JJ for the flush, besting the QQ of Kay.
