Roses and Diamonds

Mauro De Rose makes a chunky raise to 825 in early position and Raymond Rahme defends his big blind. The dealer hands the pair a flop containing more diamonds than a P.Diddy rolex watch – [Ad] [8d] [3d] – and Rahme check-calls a 1,000 De Rose bet. The turn is a fourth diamond – [Td] – and this time De Rose makes it 2,500 once checked to.

"Diamond or just an ace? I had you before that card," said Rahme before showing his opponent [Ac] [Qs].

De Rose takes the pot and very politely shows the table [Kh] [Kd].
"I told you I had you beat. We are supposed to change dealers, why are you back here?" Rahme joked.

De Rose ~ 29,000
Rahme ~ 44,000
