A Double Up With Queens on the Very First Hand
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
William Jewell came into Day 2 with 19 big blinds and was all in the very first hand. Jewell opened on the button and got three-bet by Quan Zhou in the small blind. Jewell moved all in and, after getting the count, Zhou called.
William Jewell: Q♥Q♦
Quan Zhou: A♥J♣
Zhou flopped top pair on 8♥J♦7♠, but the queens held up on the 6♠ turn and the 7x river.
The very next hand, the same two players got involved again. Jewel min-raised from the cutoff, Zhou three-bet to 63,000. Jewel moved all in and after a moment of thought, Zhou released the hand, sending more chips Jewell’s way.
