Chung Finds the Right Call to KO Lheureux
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Luke Chung opened to 10,000 from the button and Gaetan Lheureux defended from the big blind.
The flop came 6♣2♣5♠ and Lheureux check-called a 13,000 continuation bet from Chung.
Lheureux checked the Q♣ turn and Chung bet 30,000. Lheureux shoved for 103,000 and Chung called with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Gaetan Lheureux: A♣5♦
Luke Chung: 8♠8♣
Lheureux had a pair of fives and was drawing to the nut-flush while Chung was ahead with a pair of eights. The 10♦ river changed nothing for either player and Lheureux was sent to the rail while Chung claimed the last of his chips.
