Ronald Lemco Couldn't Have Written it Better

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

We met Ronald Lemco earlier today, and he said we'd be reporting on one of his hands sooner or later. He told us he's a writer of several novels and that we should look him up.

We arrived at Ronald Lemco's table to see the player in Seat 6 going all in preflop with his stack of 27,000 chips. The player on the button raised to 65,000, and Lemco called in the small blind.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Lemco checked to see the button bet 60,000, which he called. The turn was the {J-Clubs}. Lemco checked again, and the button bet 150,000. Lemco called again. The river brought the {7-Clubs}. Lemco checked again, the button bet 200,000, and Lemco snap-called.

The button showed the {K-Clubs} for second-nut flush, but that could not beat the nut flush of Lemco as he showed the {A-Clubs}.

The player in Seat 6 showed his {A-Hearts}{3-Spades} for everyone's information and walked away to get his payout.
