With a flop of 9♣A♥Q♠, a quick check led to Raul Torres leading out for 1,200. The next acting player made it 5,000 to go with the two remaining players calling.
The turn changed little but the 2♣ added a flush draw to the board. With early position again checking, Torres took the lead, firing 6,500, with both players calling to the river.
A 10♠ on the river completed a few possible straight draws. Yet, after a third check from early position, Torres announced he was all in for 20,900. After careful consideration, both players conceded the pot to Torres who announced "A set of Queens beats me." With this pot, Torres gained an early chip lead putting his total at approximately 56,000.
