Raymer Gets Big Value With Queens

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Philippe Bouchard raised to 500 from early position and was called by Robert Bickley in middle position. Greg Raymer squeezed to 2,000 from the cutoff, and both Bouchard and Bickley called.

The flop came J♠9♣6♠, and it was checked to Raymer, who continued for 3,300. Bouchard called and Bickley folded.

Bouchard then check-called a 6,000 bet from Raymer on the 6♦ turn and a 12,000 bet from Raymer on the 2♣ river after a bit of thought.

"Queens," Raymer announced as he tabled Q♣Q♥.

Queens were good, as Bouchard sent his cards into the muck, and the 2004 Main Event Champion dragged a nice pot early.
