Can Saout Outflop Queens?
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Antoine Saout opened to 5,500 from middle position before Jose Barbosa three-bet to 17,500 from the hijack. Saout responded with a four-bet to 46,500 and called as the bigger stack when Barbosa jammed for 149,500.
Jose Barbosa: Q♣Q♠
Antoine Saout: A♠K♣
The A♣ appeared on the flop but so did the Q♦5♥, improving Barbosa to a set of queens to stay in front. Barbosa relaxed after the 3♣ turn as Saout was drawing dead ahead of the 2♥ river.
