Creative Luca Finds A Chop

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Ivan Luca
Ivan Luca

A player opened to 2,200 in early position and got called in late position. Ivan Luca three-bet to 5,000 from the big blind, leaving himself with just 9,700 behind. Both players called to see a flop.

The flop was {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, and Luca shoved all in. The player in early position called the shove, and the third player folded.

Ivan Luca: {7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Early position: {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Luca's creative play didn't pay off as he found himself basically drawing dead. However, the {9-Spades} turn and {J-Diamonds} river gave the Argentinian a bizarre escape, and he chopped the pot miraculously.
