Luca and Arantes Go Toe to Toe
Level 5
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Alexandre Arantes opened to 3,200 from under the gun, which saw Ivan Luca respond with a three-bet to 9,500 from the button. Undeterred, Arantes four-bet to 38,200. The raising wasn't finished yet, as Luca five-bet jammed for 94,500.
Arantes folded, but threw in his one-time 'Winner Showdown' card, too, forcing Luca to show.
Luca obliged, flipping over Q♠Q♥.
