Ace Not Enough For Lupo
Level 18
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Liuboymyr Melnyk raised to 50,000 in early position and Remo Lupo moved all in for 335,000 in the hijack. Midhat Ibrahem then reshoved for 550,000 on the button, and Melnyk got out of the way.
Remo Lupo: A♠J♥
Midhat Ibrahem: K♦K♥
"Come on, ace!" Lupo shouted out, and he got his wish on the A♥K♠Q♣ flop. Ibrahem, though, had also spiked a set to stay in the lead. "Ten!" Lupo pleaded for, but no help arrived on the 5♥ turn and 2♦ river and he was sent to the rail.
