Poche Fades Luo's Outs
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Robert Mather made it 5,000 from the hijack, and Xixiang Luo called from the cutoff. Jonathan Poche squeezed it up to 23,000 from the button, and both of his opponents called.
Mather checked the 10♥8♣2♦ flop and Luo bet the pot. Poche called for his remaining 50,000, which forced Mather to fold.
Jonathan Poche: A♣A♠10♠9♥ 
Xixiang Luo: Q♦7♣10♦9♠
Poche had top set against the straight draw of Luo. The K♠ turn and 5♦ were clean for Poche, meaning he earned a full double-up through Luo.
