So Sick

We finally found a flop worthy of the title of this post. Four players paid 3,200 to see a flop of {6-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}. Both blinds checked to the under-the-gun player, who bet 5,000. Jon Lane raised him to 15,000, only to see the small blind raise all in for 55,000 and the big blind call all in for close to the same. After the under-the-gun player folded, Lane called as well.

Small Blind: {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Big Blind: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Lane: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}

Top two for the small blind; middle set for the big blind; and top set for Lane. The turn and river bricked out, allowing Lane to eliminate two players and moved up the leaderboard to 233,000 chips.
