Ring Around the Rosie

Under the gun Peter Traply raised to 20,000. Toni Judet called and then Stephane Hornet and Bill Seber called from the cutoff and button respectively.

Matt Lessinger then raised from the small blind to 130,000. Traply then reraised to 500,000. Judet folded, and Hornet called for his last 200,000. Seber folded, and Lessinger, with only about 150,000 behind and perhaps thinking about the possible connotation of Peter's last name, decided to fold what he said were pocket queens.

If so, he was probably kicking himself when he saw Traply turn over {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} and Hornet {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. The board ended up {7-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} and Hornet took down the 690,000 pot.
