Luther Claims Another Victim
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jordan Westmorland raised 30,000 in early position and Nikita Luther called from a couple of spots to his left before Thien Chung Wu three-bet to 150,000 in the cutoff. Westmorland mucked his hand but Luther stuck around.
The dealer fanned a flop of A?J?5?, and Luther checked to Chung Wu. Wu announced all-in for 665,000 and Luther snap-called, dropping a stack of greens across the line.
Thien Chung Wu: A?K?
Nikita Luther: A?J?
Wu flopped top pair, top kicker but it was no good against Luther's top two pair. Wu couldn't find one of the last remaining kings as the board completed with the 7? on the turn and the 6? on the river.
