Pocket Queens Let Pocket Queens Down
Nan Min, a member of Pocket Queens, a poker community for women, had a little over 20,000 chips to start the hand. As she tells the story, she looked at her cards in early position to find the perfect hand - pocket queens.
She raised and got four callers, including Benjamin Hu directly to her left.
The flop came 7♣Q♣7♦. When it checked to her, Min checked, as she says, to trap, because the hand was too good. All other players also checked.
On the 2♦ turn, Min checked again, this time Hu bet. After everyone else folded, Min went all in and got snap called.
Nan Min: Q♠Q♥
Benjamin Hu: 7♥7♠
Min had queens full of sevens but was drawing very thin, down to a single queen. She commented that, since she is one of the Pocket Queens herself, she thought there was a decent chance she would catch the case card to save her tournament lif. But the queens ultimately let her down, as the 4♣ rolled off on the river and she was sent to the rail.
