No lemons for Giang

"I don't know why he didn't just put me all in," said a puzzled Chau Giang as the dealer at his table produced a three-diamond flop of {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

. Giang was referring to the fact that he had opened for 2,000 and was flat-called by the button despite the fact that Giang only had about 1,500 behind.

"I didn't know what these guys were going to do," said the button with a laugh and a finger at the blinds. "I guess I know what you're going to do." And sure enough Giang moved all in. His opponent called and the cards were on their backs.

Giang: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

Button:

{A-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

Giang asked for a pair on the turn but didn't get it with the {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

. "Oh, I lose," said Giang, tongue-in-cheek. He didn't lose; the blank {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

on the river actually gave him the pot and pushed him up to about 7,500.
