Lanahan Leaves Lu on Fumes
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Patrick Lanahan opened to 11,000 from early position before Andrew Lu chose to jam from the cutoff. Lanahan made the call to put himself at risk for 34,000.
Patrick Lanahan: K♥J♣
Andrew Lu: A♦K♦
Lu had Lanahan's hand dominated, but the flop gave Lanahan some outs as it came Q♣A♣7♦ to give Lu a pair of aces and Lanahan a straight draw.
The 5♠ turn was relevant to no one. As the dealer began to deal the river, Lanahan called for a ten; his wish was granted as the 10♥ river came to give Lanahan a straight.
