Rios Lays Down the Ladies

Just before the break, Jesse Rios made a rather fine laydown to save himself over 7,000 chips.

The cutoff raised and the button flatted; the action moved around to Rios in the big blind who reraised to 2,300. The cutoff called -- but now the button made it 6,000 to go. Rio called and the cutoff folded, and they went heads up to a {4-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts} flop.

Rios checked it, and his opponent promptly moved all in for 7,450. "I have pocket queens," announced Rios, and folded. His opponent showed {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} for top set.

"Oh! What a laydown!" Rios congratulated himself. He's sitting on a very creditable 42,000 now.
