Lappin Plays His Queens Cautiously
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ronald Steinmetz bet 7,000 on the turn with the board showing 5?10?9?J? and Didier Pitcho called under the gun, as did David Lappin in the hijack.
Steinmetz checked the 8? river and Pitcho bet 13,000. Lappin called and Steinmetz got out of the way. Pitcho turned over A?J?, but Lappin had Q?Q? for a straight to win the pot.
"I was worried about the nine and the ten. Mister king queen over there," Lappin said as he crossed the 200,000 milestone.
