Lemke Fighting Back

[user67765]

Brian Lemke raised to 260,000, and Fabian Quoss made the call in the big blind. They saw a flop of {8-Diamonds}

and both players checked. The {7-Diamonds}

fell on turn and Quoss led out with a bet of 350,000. Lemke made the call.

When the {K-Diamonds}

fell on the river, four diamonds were on board causing Quoss to check and then fold to the 500,000 chip bet of Lemke.

Lemke continues his aggression which seems to be working at the moment as he slowly gets himself back into this contest.
