Another Man Down Early

Picking up the action on a flop of {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {9-Hearts}, action was four-handed with 800 in the pot. The small blind, Victor Lemos, checked. David Fox was in the big blind and checked as well. The next player fired 475. The player in the cutoff seat raised to 1,350. Lemos flat-called and then Fox folded. The player that made the original bet folded as well and action went heads up to the turn.

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds} and Lemos fired 2,200. His opponent tanked over his decision before eventually moving all in. Lemos snapped, tabling {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. His opponent upsettingly tabled {10-Spades} {8-Spades} for the lower end of the straight.

The river was the {2-Spades} and Lemos was able to bust his opponent and move to 29,000 chips.
