Lukovic Binks River
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ray Qartomy opened to 7,500 from middle position, and Nemanja Lukovic defended in the big blind.
On the 10♣8♥4♥ flop, Lukovic check-called versus a bet of 7,500 from Qartomy.
The J♠ turn was checked through. On the 5♦ river, Lukovic led out with a bet of 35,000, and after a short period of deliberation, Qartomy made the call.
Lukovic tabled 7♥6♣ for the rivered eight-high straight, and Qartomy mucked. "What were you going to do if it wasn't the perfect river?", Qartomy asked his opponent, clearly a bit miffed with the outcome of the hand.
