Matsueda Spikes Quad Queens to Soar into the Chip Lead
Niveau 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
After a preflop betting war, Stephen Silverman, Shariq Khan, and Junya Matsueda get all of their chips into the middle, with Matsueda covering.
Shariq Khan: 10♦10♥
Stephen Silverman: A♥A♠
Junya Matsueda: Q♦Q♥
Silverman was poised in a prime position to score a boatload of chips with his aces, but his heart sank as the flop came out 3♥Q♣2♦ to give Matsueda a huge lead with top set of queens. And just in case there was still hope for his opponents, it disappeared quickly as the fourth Q♠ rolled off on the turn to leave them dead in the water. The river 4♥ was just a formality as the monstrous pot was shipped to Matsued to catapult him into the chip lead.
