Culpepper Hits Running Diamonds to KO Tucker
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
With the board reading 6♠Q♦Q♥, Todd Tucker was all-in from the small blind for a bit less than 20,000, and up against the covering stack of Stephen Culpepper in the cutoff.
Todd Tucker: K♦Q♣
Stephen Culpepper: A♦10♦
Tucker was a massive favorite with trip queens until the rest of the board ran out 2♦3♦, giving Culpepper the nut-flush to win the hand, sending Tucker to the rail.
Tucker quickly re-entered, sitting down at another table with a fresh starting stack.
