Six players (yes, six) limped in and saw a flop of {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

. An early-position player led out for 600, Bernard Lee raised to 2,600 and only the EP player called. The turn was the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

. The EP player checked, Lee bet 4,000 and the EP player called. The river was the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

and both players checked.

Lee turned up {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

for two pair, besting his opponent's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

. Lee clapped his hands together and said "Ship it!" as the pot was pushed toward him.

"That was borderline excessive celebration, sir" deadpanned the dealer.

"Are you serious?" asked Lee.

"No," said the dealer with a laugh and a shake of his head.

Lee is up to 21,000.
