Luca Rivers a Flush to Eliminate Rughani

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded around to Ivan Luca in the small blind, and he raised to 240k. Vivek Rughani was in the big blind with a stack worth 1.4m and moved all in. Luca made the call, and Rughani saw he needed help from the board.

Ivan Luca: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Vivek Rughani: {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Board: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Rughani hit the ace of the flop to take the lead, but Luca was not dead in the hand after he picked up extra outs with a flush draw. The turn gave Rughani two pair and was set for a double-up until the river came the {9-Spades} to give Luca the pot.

Rughani banked $77,695 for his run.
