Fricke Falls Short

[user198174]

We had heads up action between a middle position player and Jimmy Fricke on the button. The flop read {9-Hearts} {3-Spades} {6-Diamonds} and the middle position player bet out 1,200. Fricke justified it with himself and made the call.

The {3-Hearts} on the turn saw the middle position player slow down with a check. Fricke jumped on the opportunity and bet out 2,000 and the middle position player called.

The {8-Spades} then made an appearance on the river and the middle position player saw something he liked and bet out 3,000. Fricke took about 30 seconds to think about his course of action before ultimately putting in the call. The Fricke's opponent then exposed {Q-} {Q-} for two pair, queens and threes. This was seemingly good enough as Fricke deposited his cards in the muck.
