Tamayo's Trip Queens Earn the Win

Level 21

Stud:

Tamayo: (X)(X) - {3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} - (X)
Ware: (X)(X) - {8-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} - (X)

We missed the preliminary betting in this hand but Ware fired bets of 20,000 on fifth and sixth streets and Tamayo called both times. Both players checked on seventh street and Tamayo revealed his down cards: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for trip queens.

Despite four clubs on board, Ware could not produce a fifth club for a flush and Tamayo nearly doubled up on the hand, leaving him with 150,000 chips. Ware dropped to 410,000 after the loss but still maintains a healthy stack.
