Lech Gets There on the River

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Michael Lech

With around 30,000 in the pot on a flop of {2-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, Michel Atallah bet 23,000 from the big blind and Michael Lech called in middle position.

Both players checked the {4-Clubs} turn as the {5-Clubs} fell on the river. Atallah this time threw out 35,000 and Lech snap-called.

Atallah flashed {a-}{q-} for top pair, but Lech had {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for the rivered straight as Atallah angrily slammed his cards on the table and began muttering to himself.
