Lambertz Cleans Up

We caught this hand in progress as action had come back around to Felix Lambertz who found himself having to call about 11,000 in order to cover the all ins of two other players on the table.

Lambertz put his chips in the middle, and we saw the hands.

All In 1: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
All In 2: {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Lambertz: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

When the board ran {2-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, Lambertz's tens held up and he scooped a pot worth about 30,000. He now has a stack of nearly 50,000.
