Luo Finds a Miracle Double Up
Around 80,000 was in the pot as Shuang Luo, Nariman Yaghmai, and Atil Okay in the hijack saw a flop of 3♦7♠4♠. Okay then moved all in for 145,000.
Luo called for her last 130,000 as action went on Yaghmai. "Crazy," tablemate Nina Krasilnikova said. Yaghmai eventually folded.
Shuang Luo: 8♦7♦
Atil Okay: J♣J♥
"What," Krasilnikova said upon seeing Luo's hand. Okay was poised to scoop the massive pot with his pair of jacks until the 8♥ turn improved Luo to two pair. The river was the 5♥ and Okay could only laugh as Luo earned a massive double up.
"You called all in with seven-eight," an incredulous Krasilnikova asked after the hand.
"She put him on sixes, fives, or a flush draw," Andrea Dato replied.
Okay was left on an extreme short stack and was eliminated a few hands later.
