Quinn Dodges Elimination
A player in middle position opened with a raise to 1,525, and Stan Quinn three-bet to 4,350 in the small blind. From the big, a third player reraised all in for about 17,000, and the initial raiser tanked and did the same for about the same amount. That put a big decision back on Quinn who had 15,000 chips left in front of him. It looked to us like he had both men covered, but it was awfully close, and Quinn needed a couple minutes to think. He mumbled to himself as he ran through the action and the numbers, but he finally surrendered what he said was and let the other two go at it.
Showdown
Raiser:
Big Blind:
The flop brought both players a set, but it changed nothing except to reduce the big blind's outs to one. The turn and river were blanks, though, and queens full get the job done. That sends a player off to the rail, and Quinn had been spared that 15,000 for the time being.
