Arnett Moreno Put to the Test With Queens

Ryan Lashmar

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with players heads up and about 53,500 in the middle and the board reading 2?J?6?. A player in middle position 11,000 and Kristy Arnett Moreno called from the hijack.

The turn was the 7?. The player in middle position, who was opening the action, tanked for at least 90 seconds before betting 40,000. Arnett Moreno quickly called.

The river brought the 4?. The player in middle position considered his options for about 45 seconds before checking. Arnett Moreno quickly checked back.

Moreno had Q?Q? for an overpair which was enough to beat her opponent's K?J? for top pair to take down a pot worth about 150,000, the largest pot played at that table so far according to another player.
