That's Poker

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was picked up on on a flop of A♣4♥2♥ and a pot of about 40,000. Wen Lyu in the big blind fired 15,000 in the pot and got called by Andre Joo in hijack.

On the turn 9♦, Lyu shoved all-in for 63,000 and Joo snap-called.

Wen Lyu: J♥9♥ All in
Andre Joo: A♦A♥

Joo had a set on the flop. Lyu only had a pair with the board and a flush. Encouraging Lyu, someone on the table said, "One more card." That card came K♥ completing Lyu's flush and making Joo stand up as he hit the table in frustration.

Joo just couldn't believe his luck and stated how painful it was. Lyu started apologizing profusely, to which Joo said, "What are you sorry for?"
