Lu Flushes Leaving Crites With Crumbs

Action was picked up on the flop of 5♠6♦J♦, Clifford Pappas was in the cutoff and placed a bet of 125,000, Garrett Crites was on the button and reraised to 300,000, and Qing Lu was in the big blind and moved all in for 935,000.

Pappas contemplated and asked Lu, "Are you sure?" Pappas folded.

Crites called.

Qing Lu: Q♦9♦ All in
Garrett Crites: A♠J♣

Crites was ahead with his pair of jacks heading to the turn, which was the 6♠, but Lu hit her flush on the river A♦ and won a massive double, leaving Crites with a short stack.

In the very next hand, Crites moved all in for his last 465,000 from the cutoff, and Quoc Le called from the small blind.

Garrett Crites: K♥K♠ All in
Quoc Le: 9♣9♥

Le exclaimed, "You are not supposed to have kings, you are supposed to have a desperate hand."

The board came out with 3♦7♥Q♦5♣10♣, and Crites lived to play another hand.
