"Queso Rivers the BEJEEZUS Out of Somebody"

"Queso"
"Queso"
This headline brought to you by Jim "Mr_BigQueso" Collopy himself, who would only tell us how he got 60,000 chips if we let him choose the title for his own post. Well played, Jim.

So let's have it then. First into the pot, Queso opened with a raise to 600. The big blind defended with a call, and the two went heads up the rest of the way.

The flop brought {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {4-Hearts}, and Collopy continued out with a bet of 800. His opponent then snuck in a check-raise to 2,275, and Collopy made the flat call.

Turn: {10-Diamonds}. The big blind fired another bet of 3,575, and Collopy made the call once more.

River: {10-Clubs}. Big blind leads out for 4,200 before seeing Queso raise all in for about 28,000 total, having the bigger of the two stacks. The big blind instantly called for the rest of his own chips, turning up {10-?} {9-?} for the book. But it was second-best. Collopy tabled {J-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} for the straight flush, dragging a big pot and sending his opponent packing.

If his story can be believed, that's the reason Collopy is up around 60,000 as he returns from the dinner break.
