The Lady's Ladies

Javier Rojas Mederos came into the pot raising to 1,700, and Melanie Weisner flatted from across the table. Next to her, Nick Yunis squeezed in a reraise to 5,200, but Rojas came right back with another raise to 13,300 total. Weisner got sneaky now with a reraise of her own — all in for just less than 60,000. Rojas called out of turn (oops!), but Yunis called all in anyways, and Rojas re-called with both players covered.

Showdown
Rojas: {K-} {K-}
Weisner: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}
Yunis: {K-} {K-}

It was no fun for Weisner, but the news would improve in a hurry. The dealer burned a card and turned the flop face-up with the {Q-Diamonds} glowing right in the window. Cue the astonished reaction from everyone at the table, including Weisner. The {4-Clubs} {5-Clubs} flop left one opponent drawing dead and the other needing a runner-runner flush.

The turn and river were the {7-Spades} and {2-Hearts} , and Weisner's come-from-behind set earns her a near triple-up. She's all the way up to 165,000 now, eliminating Yunis and taking the bulk of Rojas' chips in the process.
