Estes Catches a Queen to Lighten The Field
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Michael Estes got into a preflop-raising war from under the gun against one other player in the hijack that resulted in them getting all in preflop. Estes had his opponent covered.
Hijack: A?A?
Michael Estes: Q?Q?
Estes had run into the preflop nuts and the 5?5?7? flop was of no help; however, the Q? turn vaulted Estes into the lead with a set of queens and the river bricked out to keep Estes in front — eliminating his opponent from contention.
