Motoyama Puts a Cooler on the Cutoff

The player in the cutoff position raised to 2,500 preflop. Yuta Motoyama re-raised to 6,000, and Jack McClelland thought deeply for a moment before folding. The cutoff called and the two players were off to the flop.

The flop delivered {2-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Motoyama checked and the cutoff went all in for close to 10,000. Motoyama called and his {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} were well ahead of the cutoff's {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. The cutoff couldn't improve and was left empty handed, sending Motoyama up to about 42,000 in chips.
