When we caught up to the action we found JJ Liu in the small blind calling a bet of 800 from the player on the button. The big blind also made the call and three people got to see a flop. It was here that all players checked.

Liu showed for a pair of jacks, Liu's opponent however tabled for three queens and the winning hand.
