Lupu Spikes River to Triple Up
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Dimitru Lupu moved all in for 425,000 and was called by Simon Davidson and Scott Boyle.
On the A♦5♥2♣ Davidson bet 125,000 and was called by Boyle.
On the 10♣ turn Davidson moved all in for 1,800,000 and Boyle folded, leaving Davidson and Lupu to battle it out for the pot, with Lupu at risk.
Dimitru Lupu: A♣8♣
John Davidson: A♠Q♣
Lupu was behind as his pair of aces was dominated by Davidson's better kicker, but Lupu had turned a flush draw to improve his equity.
The K♣ rolled off on the river to give Lupu the flush and a timely triple up. Davidson bemoaned his bad luck but he still has a healthy stack to work with.
