Queen on the River Cracks Lechich

Tino Lechich
Tino Lechich
We caught the action on the flop with T6 Poker's Tino Lechich firing a bet of 4,000 from late position on a board of {6-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Recent WSOP bracelet winner Max Greenwood made the call from under the gun.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and both players checked.

The river was the {Q-Spades} and the Greenwood led out with a bet of 8,500. Lechich went into the tank, and even though he appeared resigned to the fact he was beat, he made a crying call.

Greenwood flipped {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for a rivered set of queens as Lechich flashed {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}.

"If I shove on the turn I lose everything!" exclaimed Lechich, but fortunately for him he is still left with 6,100.
