Lutes Stays Alive, Nearly Triples

[user66118]

Chairud Vangchailued opened with an under-the-gun raise. Nam Le reraised to 60,000 from the button, and Richard Lutes moved all in for 120,000 from the small blind. When it came back to Vangchailued, he too moved all in, enough to get Le out of the pot.

Showdown
Vangchailued: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

Lutes:

{K-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

The flop would pair both player, but Lutes grabbed the lead as it came {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

. The

{10-Hearts}

and

{3-Hearts}

filled out the board, and we have another double up (and then some). Lutes is now on 320,000.
