Stud L-unkind to Vitaly

[user46298]

Vitaly Lunkin - no more bracelets for him today

Vitaly Lunkin is busto after a 10k+ pot brewed between himself and two other players in Stud 8-or-better.

I was attracted to his table by the magic words, "Player all in," and found Lunkin with the rest of his pretty short stack in the middle and Eric Buchman on his immediate left contemplating a raise. He did so, and picked up a third player, creating a side pot. At this stage:

Lunkin: [XX] {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

Buchman: [XX] {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

Third Guy: [XX] {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

Lunkin received the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

on sixth, while Buchman picked up the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

and the third player the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

. Buchman bet 600 into the side pot, and got a call.

At the river, Lunkin's two pair (he held {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{9-Spades}

down) was no good against Buchman's straight and seven low (his hand in full [ {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

]

{8-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

)and this was good, in fact, for this whole juicy pot. Buchman up to nearly 20k.
