Luke Schwartz
Luke Schwartz

Limit Hold'em

On a {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board Luke Schwartz check-called a bet from Ralph Perry. The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and Schwartz check-called another bet.

The river was the {6-Diamonds} and Schwartz bet. Perry raised.

"Oh my god," said Schwartz, "Did you make a house? How much is it to call?"

He thought about his decision for a bit longer.

"Usually if you say your hand really fast, you win," he said, before calling and saying "Nut flush" really quickly.

Perry nodded and Schwartz turned over {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to take down the pot.
