Wild Hand Leaves Wilds in Trouble

[user67765]

With three limpers in the pot, Thang Luu decided that his option would be to raise from the big blind. All three opponents called and they saw a flop of {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

.

Luu led out with a bet, Mark Wilds and George Guzman made the call, with James Pritchard folding from the small blind.

The turn brought the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

and Luu led out again with a bet, Wilds raised it up which forced Guzman out of the pot. Luu called.

The river landed the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

and Luu fired another bet and Wilds quickly called.

Luu said, "Three quarters..." as he flipped {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

for the ace-high flush and nut low, as Wilds let out a cry of digust at being rivered for the low as he showed {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

.

Luu extends his lead to around 800,000 chips with Wilds now on the short stack with about 100,000 chips.
