Lucarini Feels the Power
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Chad Power raised the button to 180,000 with J♠8♠ and Sebastian Schulze called in the small blind with A♠J♣. Alexis Lucarini was in the big blind with K♠10♠, and he called, leaving himself 540,000 behind.
On the 9♦10♥5♣ flop, Schulze checked with his two overcards and Lucarini shoved his 540,000 in the middle. Power flopped an open-ended straight draw and called, which got Schulze to fold.
Lucarini needed to fade a queen, jack, or a seven, but failed at the first hurdle as a Q♥ on the turn gave Power a straight. A 6♦ on the river didn't help Lucarini, and he hit the rail.
