Luther Claims Another Victim
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jordan Westmorland raised 30,000 in early position and Nikita Luther called from a couple of spots to his left before Thien Chung Wu three-bet to 150,000 in the cutoff. Westmorland mucked his hand but Luther stuck around.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♠J♠5♥, and Luther checked to Chung Wu. Wu announced all-in for 665,000 and Luther snap-called, dropping a stack of greens across the line.
Thien Chung Wu: A♣K♦
Nikita Luther: A♦J♥
Wu flopped top pair, top kicker but it was no good against Luther's top two pair. Wu couldn't find one of the last remaining kings as the board completed with the 7♠ on the turn and the 6♣ on the river.
