Lhuillier Increases His Stack Twelvefold
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Jean Lhuillier called for his last chip of 25,000 from under the gun, and Dominykas Mikolaitis raised to 400,000 on the button. Everyone else folded, leaving Mikolaitis with the chance to finish Lhuillier off.
Jean Lhuillier: 8♣6♥
Dominykas Mikolaitis: A♣K♠
Lhuillier needed to hit something on the runout to begin the spin-up of all spin-ups, but that looked unlikely on the 5♥5♦K♥ flop as Mikolaitis paired his king.
Lhuillier found the perfect turn card in the form of the 4♥, giving himself both straight and flush outs.
The dealer burned a card and revealed the Q♥ on the river to complete Lhuillier's flush, and he increased his stack twelvefold to 300,000.
