Lucky River Saves Lukina
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Kelly Slay limped from middle position before Katerina Lukina raised to 5,000 from the cutoff. Russell Clayton called on the button. Michael Vela called in the big blind, and Slay called.
On the 10♠10♥7♠ flop, Lukina continued for 6,000, Clayton folded, and Vela raised to 15,000. Slay put in the call before Lukina jammed for 71,000. Vela then rejammed and Slay folded.
Katerina Lukina: J♠10♣ 
Michael Vela: K♣10♦
Lukina was in rough shape with her dominated trips. The 4♦ turn offered no help until the 7♥ river gave both players a full house and the pot was chopped.
