Lunardi Stacked

Lunardi: in bad shape
Lunardi: in bad shape
Kristian Lunardi raised it up to 2,000 only to have Andrew Topakas make the call from the button.

On the flop of {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, Lunardi led out for 4,000 and Topakas raised all in. Lunardi snap-called.

Lunardi: {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Topakas: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Though Lunardi was in front with top pair, the dealer produced the {5-Hearts} on the turn to give Topakas the flush! The river bricked out with the {10-Diamonds} and Topakas doubled through to 45,000.

Lunardi is looking glum, now down to 6,000.
