Lemke: Slow Play Pays Dividends

[user75013]

Brian Lemke limped into the pot from the button and Fabian Guoss checked his option in the big blind.

The board of {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

{k-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

was checked to the river as it appeared that the pot wasn't going to develop into anything significant. Quoss took a stab with a bet of 325,000 but Lemke sprang to life with a raise of an additional 575,000. Quoss made the call but couldn't beat Lemke's {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

for a full house.

With that pot Lemke has claimed the chip lead for the first time today with around 5.2 million to Quoss' 4.6 million.
