Latimer Thinks Laterally

Adam Latimer had dropped a little, but is now back up to 950,000 after a curious hand against the curiously named Montagna Corrado.

They made it as far as the river of the {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {A-Clubs} board when Corrado bet 80,000. Latimer disappeared into the tank for some minutes -- and then called. He turned over {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} -- and Corrado could only boast {K-?} {J-?} for king-high.

Corrado gave Latimer a look like he might come after him in the car park later; Latimer meanwhile blithely raked in the pot.
