Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 2,000 ante
This hand was picked up on the flop of Q♥7♥2♠. James Bucaro led out for 7,000 from the small blind, but Nicholas Luban opted to risk it all with a shove for 37,500 from the big blind. Bucaro made the call and put Luban at risk.
Nicholas Luban: 9♠7♣
James Bucaro: J♥9♥
Luban was ahead with his pair of sevens, but Bucaro had his jack and flush draw working for him as they went to the final two cards.
The Q♦ turn was safe for Luban, as he needed to fade the river to double.
It was not meant to be as the 6♥ came on the river, improving Bucaro to a flush and sinking Luban in the process.
