Saka Slow Plays Queens
Level 33
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Xhavit Berisha opened to 400,000 from the hijack with A♦10♣. Alain Saka had Q♦Q♣ in the big blind and just opted to call.
Saka check-called for 325,000 on the 10♦9♥3♠ flop, which brought in the 3♦ turn. Saka checked his queens once more, and Berisha fired out another 750,000, which was called.
The K♥ river completed the board, and both players checked through to showdown for Saka to take down the pot.
