Queen High No Good

With 1,900 chips in the middle, the board read {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} between Marco Johnson and one other player. Johnson checked to his opponent, who bet 1,200. Johnson thought for a bit and then called.

The river completed the board with the {J-Clubs} and Johnson checked. His opponent thought and thought, but eventually just checked behind.

"Queen high," announced Johnson, with the {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. His opponent tabled the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and won the pot to knock Johnson back a tiny bit to 55,000.
