Le Lobs Fuss Out

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
David Fuss
David Fuss

Adam Hendrix raised to 2,000 from the hijack and was called by Carol Schulte on the button, David Fuss and Dien Le in the blinds.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, it was checked to Schulte who bet 6,000. Fuss responded with a shove for 33,000. Le called and both Hendrix and Schulte folded.

David Fuss: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Dien Le: {j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Fuss had flopped top pair and a flush draw while Le already had the flush.

The turn was the {q-Hearts} to give Fuss two pair and some more outs to stay alive but the river completed the board with the {j-Diamonds} to keep Le ahead and eliminate Fuss.
