Limongi Leads

Shamus

Kind of a curious hand just went down over on Table 5 between a couple of big stacks, Igor Dubinsky and Michele Limongi.

With about 65,000 in the middle and the board showing {Q-Hearts}

, Dubinsky bet 36,000, then Limongi raised to 100,000. Dubinsky thought a bit, then called.

The river brought yet another heart in the form of the {9-Hearts}

. Dubinsky checked quickly, then Limongi looked up and said "I check" as well. Both continued to look at each other, then Limongi said "Who shows first?" The dealer indicated Limongi should, and he turned over {K-Spades}

for a pair of kings. Dubinsky slid his cards toward the muck, prompting some raising of the eyebrows and a few "oohs" around the table.

Limongi pushes into the chip lead more than 700,000, while Dubinsky is at about 310,000 now.
