Luther Takes Down Masive Pot to Seize Substantial Lead

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nikita Luther
Nikita Luther

In a battle of early position, Nikita Luther opened under the gun and her neighbor three-bet to 9,200. Luther fired back with a four-bet to 25,000 and she subsequently faced a 54,200-reraise. Luther jammed for an effective 120,000 or so and she got called.

Luther was a favorite heading into the flop with {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} versus {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. She faded an ace-high board as the dealer rolled out {6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

Luther tackled her opponent and dragged the 250,000 pot. She is now approaching 400,000 in chips with one more hour left to play on Day 1.
