Lunkin Scoops Big Pot

Vitaly Lunkin

We didn't quite catch how it happened, but Vitaly Lunkin's {10-}{10-} were up against an all in player at his table's {a-}{k-}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Hearts} The flop gave kings to the all in player, but the turn completed Lunkin's straight (amazingly, no one had a heart in their hand) and he took the extra 40,000 chips and moved them right into his stack. He is now sitting with about 130,000 which is more than double average at this point.
