A player with just 2,900 shoved from early position, and it folded around to the player in the small blind who called. Ryan D'Angelo then reraised to 8,500 from the big blind. The SB called.

The flop came Q-Q-x. The SB checked, D'Angelo bet 9,000, and his opponent responded by check-raising all in. D'Angelo mucked his cards disgustedly.

The SB showed Q-J for trip queens and eventually took both the main and side pots, eliminating the all-in player.

D'Angelo quizzed his opponent, asking him how he could call 8,000-plus with Q-J.

"Maybe you could have been on a move?" he proposed.

"How could I be on a move? This guy was all in!" answered an incredulous D'Angelo.

The debate continued. Meanwhile, D'Angelo now is down to 10,000.
