Always Beware of the Limp-Three-Bet
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Level 9: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Lee Chu limped from middle position before the cutoff raised to 4,000. John Holley called in the big blind before Chu three-bet to 12,000 with 15,000 behind. The cutoff put in the call while Holley got out of the way after some deliberation.
On the 6♦5♥2♣ flop, Chu checked to the cutoff who bet enough to put Chu all-in for 15,000 and he snap-called.
Lee Chu: Q♠Q♥ 
Cutoff: 8♥8♦
The cutoff had an overpair to the board but he was in rough shape against Chu's queens. The board ran out 3♣K♠ and Chu got the full double.
