Lucky Loeckey

A middle position player raised to 600, Johnny Chan called from late position, Vincent Curry called from the cutoff, the button called, and Tim Loeckey raised to 3,000 from the small blind. Everyone folded to the button, who made the call. The flop was {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {2-Clubs}. Loeckey led out for 5,000, the button moved all in for 12,000 and Loeckey made the call.

Loeckey turned up {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}, well ahead of the button's {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}. The turn was the {3-Spades}, the river was the {7-Diamonds} and Loeckey increased his stack to 55,000.
