Richard Lutes Eliminated in 8th Place ($85,608)

Richard Lutes - 8th Place
Richard Lutes - 8th Place
On a heads-up flop showing {4-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs}, Brandon Cantu checked, and Richard Lutes moved all in for a little over 500,000. Cantu very quickly called. This all transpired very quickly, and spectators began jockeying for position to see what was going on.

Showdown
Cantu: {10-Hearts} {J-Hearts}
Lutes: {K-Spades} {10-Spades}

Despite having no pair, Lutes had the best hand at this point. Looking to fade a heart or a jack to stay alive, Lutes hated the next card off. Cantu found the {2-Hearts} right away on the turn, enough to leave Lutes drawing dead and adding another knockout notch in Cantu's belt.

For his three days' worth of work, Richard Lutes will pocket more than $85,000.
