Lesmana’s Boat Bigger Than Graham’s


In a raised pot preflop, both Ruth Graham and Charles Lesmana checked the flop J 7 4 to bring the turn A.

Ruth took a stab with 3,000 to put Lesmana virtually all-in. Lesmana called and put his tournament life at risk.

Lesmana: A J
Ruth G: 4 4

Ms. Ruth was ahead but needed to avoid an ace on the river. Lesmana, who actually gave up already– standing up and picking up his things– when the A landed!

Lesmana survives and doubles up to around 14,000.
