Luhr's Prayers Answered
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Shane Luhr opened to 55,000 under the gun and when action folded to the cutoff, Diego Poncedeleonsilva shoved all in for around 350,000, sending Luhr to the tank.
After some time, Luhr looked up at ceiling and said, "Okay, God," put his hands together as if in prayer, then made the call.
Diego Poncedeleonsilva: A♠J♦ 
Shane Luhr: 5♥5♦
The board ran 8♥3♥4♥J♥7♥. With a flush on the board, Poncedeleonsilva stayed longer, hoping for a chop. But Luhr's five of hearts played, eliminating Poncedeleonsilva.
Poncedeleonsilva, visibly frustrated, left the table in a rush, as Luhr scooped the pot and thanked God.
