Lehmann Gets Paid With the Nuts

Thomas Santerne opened to 800 under the gun and was faced with a three-bet to 2,300 by Manfred Lehmann in the next seat. Action folded to Tobias Peters in the small blind, who pondered the position for a moment and cold-called. Santerne also called.

On the K♠Q♠5♠ flop, action was checked to Lehmann, who slid out a bet of 3,100. Peters called and Santerne folded.

The 10♠ rolled off on the turn, completing the one-card flush, and Peters check-called a bet of 3,100 from Lehmann, asking "Do you think there will be another spade on the river?" as he did so.

The 2♣ completed the board and Peters checked once more. Lehmann quickly fired out a bet of 5,200 and Peters said "If you have it, you have it", as he flicked in calling chips.

Lehmann did indeed have it as he showed A♠A♣ for the nut flush, causing Peters to muck his hand, and sending a chunky early pot to Lehmann.
