Esther Foley (Tamarac, FL) watches as her pocket queens come from behind against pocket kings.

After Gunnar Rabe opened to 2,500 from early position, and was three-bet to 12,500, action was on Esther Foley (pictured above).  Foley was deep in the tank, taking a solid 4-5 minutes to decide on her action, which would eventually be to shove all-in (for over 70,000).  Poly had both players well covered that were also in the hand, and after Rabe folded, the three-bettor called for his remaining 20,000.

Foley would be in rough shape though, as her opponent flipped over K♣ K♦, well ahead of her Q♠ Q♥.  Everything would change on the Q♣ J♠ 7♦ flop though, as Esther flopped top set, and took a commanding lead with two cards to come.  The board paired on the turn (giving Poley a full house), and after the river came without a king, Esther would eliminate her opponent from this opening flight.  Foley is now over 100,000, and one of the chip leaders in the field.
