Big Slick is Rellie Good

Chance Kornuth raised to 7,600 from middle position before the very animated Rellie Sigua reraised from the big blind to 103,000. After taking a long time in the tank, Kornuth moved all in and Sigua snapped.

Sigua: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
Kornuth: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

"No queen dealer, no queen." said Sigua.

The board then ran out {8-Spades} {7-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {9-Clubs} and Sigua's ace-king high was good enough to scoop in the pot and eliminate Kornuth.

"That's why I did that." Sigua said, pertaining to his large reraise. "I put him on ace queen or ace jack and that's why I did that. I wanted him to think I had a small pair."
