Lu Catches Timely Pocket Aces
Nível 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Mike Lu opened to 6,000 from the cutoff. The player on the button called, and the small blind made it 14,000. Jonathan Di Matteo was in the big blind and four-bet all in for around 120,000.
Mike Lu, who had a fairly short stack, called all in for 43,000. The button folded and the player in the small blind needed a long time for a decision, before folding Q♦Q♣ face-up.
Mike Lu: A♥A♦
Jonathan Di Matteo: A♣K♣
The flop came Q♠K♥9♦. Di Matteo flopped a pair of kings but Lu was still in great shape. The player in the small blind still had his queens laying in front of him - he would have been way ahead with a set.
The turn 2♦ and river 9♣ did not help Di Matteo and Lu was able to double up and then-some.
