A Double Up With Queens on the Very First Hand
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
William Jewell came into Day 2 with 19 big blinds and was all in the very first hand. Jewell opened on the button and got three-bet by Quan Zhou in the small blind. Jewell moved all in and, after getting the count, Zhou called.
William Jewell: Q?Q?
Quan Zhou: A?J?
Zhou flopped top pair on 8?J?7?, but the queens held up on the 6? turn and the 7x river.
The very next hand, the same two players got involved again. Jewel min-raised from the cutoff, Zhou three-bet to 63,000. Jewel moved all in and after a moment of thought, Zhou released the hand, sending more chips Jewell��s way.
