"Lucky Donk" Bombs Back at DonkeyBomber

Yesterday Hieu Luu was wearing a t-shirt that read "I'm a Lucky Donk". It was fate, therefore, that he should wind up drawing the same table today as Tom "DonkeyBomber" Schneider. Once Jack Effel told his dealers to shuffle up and deal, the game was afoot!

Luu doubled Scheider up earlier, but he wasn't about to give up. Luu got the better of Schneider in a recent pot that was limped four-ways to a flop of {3-Spades} {2-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. Luu, in early position, bet 175,000 after both blinds checked. Only Schneider called.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds}. Again Luu made a bet, this time for a very healthy 400,000 chips. Schneider called that bet too, then folded to an all-in shove of 1.86 million on the {4-Diamonds} river.

Schneider is almost exactly on 4 million chips now. Luu is up to 2.7 million.
