Queen is Good For Lian
Level 6
: Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante
Around 45,000 was in the middle as Roman Hrabec, Xiang Lian, and Qiang Xu saw a flop of A?Q?6?. Hrabec then led out for 11,000 from the small blind.
Lian called in early position, but Xu put in a raise to 36,500 in the cutoff. Hrabec folded, while Lian tanked for a minute before calling.
The 10? turn was checked through and the A? fell on the river. Lian checked again and Xu checked back as Lian showed Q?J? for two pair. Xu mucked and Lian took the pot, adding to his chip-lead contending stack.
