Retiere's Queens Hold Against Labat's Jacks
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Antoine Labat opened the action with a raise to 3,200, and Romain Retiere responded with a three-bet to 7,000 from middle position, which Labat decided to call.
Both players opted to check on the 4♠K♥7♣ flop.
The action picked up on the 4♥ turn when Retiere fired a bet of 8,000, and Labat, after some thought, check-called.
When the 3♣ river landed, Labat shifted gears, leading out with a small bet of 4,500. Retiere quickly called, and they went to showdown. Labat revealed JxJx, but Retiere's Q♥Q♣ had the edge, giving him the pot.
