Makawana Doubles Up With Queens
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Dipak Makawana raised to 3,500 from under the gun and Lorenc Boci called on the button.
The flop came 5?7?4?. Makawana checked, Boci bet 10,000, and Makawana moved all in for around 31,000. Boci deliberated and then made the call with the bigger stack.
Dipak Makawana: Q?Q?
Lorenc Boci: J?J?
Both players had flush draws along with their pocket pairs. The turn came the 7? and the river was the 8?. Makawana held with his pocket queens to win the pot and double up his stack.
"I nearly folded," said Boci.
"It would have been a big fold," said a neutral player.
