Lateral Thinking Boosts Latimer's Stack

Adam Latimer has had a marvellous start, upping his stack to 130,000 already.

The hand that did it:

Latimer opened with {Q-?} {9-?}, as you do, and another gentleman three-bet. Latimer four-bet, Mr. Gentleman called, and they saw a {2-?} {6-?} {9-?} flop. Latimer bet out and Mr. Gentleman called, and they saw a turn.

The turn was a very favourable {Q-?} and Latimer now checked. Mr. Gentleman bet 12,500, Latimer check-raised to 28,000, and finally Mr. Gentleman went all in for another 35,000 or so. Latimer called, and discovered that Mr. Gentleman was holding a mere {5-?} {4-?} for a gutshot, which absolutely failed to come in on the river. Oops.

Mr. Latimer is feeling pretty good about things now.
