Luca Triples Up
Level 16
: 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Ivan Luca raised to 360,000 from the hijack, keeping 5,000 behind and Mike Watson called from the cutoff. Erik Seidel three-bet to 900,000 from the button for the blinds to quickly fold. Luca took his time, looked over to the other table, and then flicked in his last chip for the call while Watson opted to get out of their way.
Ivan Luca: K♦Q♠
Erik Seidel: A♥Q♣
The flop came 5♥8♠K♥ for Luca to hit top pair.
The turn was the Q♦ for Luca to hit two pair and Seidel one. Luca just needed to avoid an ace to stay alive and did just that when the 9♦ completed the board.
