Lambros Gets Marx to Lay Down Aces

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of {5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} with about 5,000 in the pot. Chris Lambros led out for 4,000 from the hijack, getting a call from Steven Marx just to his left.

On the {6-Diamonds} turn, Lambros fired for another 10,000. This sent Marx into the tank, before he eventually deciding to fold, doing so face up to reveal {a-}{a-}. Marx let out an "Oh no!" as Lambros showed his hand of {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

"I represented a straight," Lambros said, rationalizing Marx's laydown for him.

"I thought you had a set," Marx explained. Another player across the table agreed, and said that he knew Marx had aces. "I thought it was pretty clear what I had, so I thought [he had me beat]." Marx continued.
