Lucena Finds a Double with Bottom Pair
Level 27
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Gary Bolton opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 175,000, and Juan Lucena, sitting in the big blind, responded by moving all in for his remaining 265,000. Bolton made the quick call to put him at risk.
Juan Lucena: A♦3♣
Gary Bolton: A♣Q♥
The flop came J♣9♦3♦, giving Lucena a small pair to take the lead. The 10♣ turn and 5♣ river brought no help for Bolton, and Lucena scored a timely double to stay in the mix.
