A Turn for the Worse, A Curse for the Turn

Jerry Martin got the last of his chips in with the board showing {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Martin had {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} for two pair, but had to outlast Devor Lanini's {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

"No diamond, no diamond!" said Martin.

"Diamond, diamond!" said Lanini.

The dealer then turned over the {10-Diamonds}. "F***ing diamond," lamented Martin. The river was the {Q-Spades}, and Martin is out.

Lanini is up to 1.75 million.
