Lu Brings the Pain to Spain
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Taiwan's Wei-Hsun Lu raised to 12,000 and Gonzalo Ranero three-bet jammed for 99,000 in the hijack. Fellow Spaniard Jon Santos then pushed all-in for 149,000 and Lu asked for a count on the larger stack. He then called half a minute later and they pushed them over.
Gonzalo Ranero: 9♠9♣
Jon Santos: A♥K♦
Wei-Hsun Lu: Q♥Q♣
The 8♦8♥5♦ flop and 6♦ turn kept Ranero and Santos with some equity. However, the 5♣ river kept Lu ahead and he sent both players from Spain to the rail.
