Lu Spikes Miracle River, Schroeder Exits
On a three-way flop of 3?9?5?, Yunye Lu checked to Artan Dedusha who bet 1,800 and then was raised to 10,000 by Donald Culberson.
Then Lu check-jammed for a full 50,000 and now the pressure was back on Dedusha, who went into the tank. After a good minute or so debating with himself, he tossed out two green chips worth 25,000 each to make the call.
Culberson, who had already committed a large portion of his stack in his initial raise, decided to lay it down and the cards were tabled with Lu at risk.
Yunye Lu: 3?5?
Artan Dedusha: A?10?
The turn came the 8? to give Dedusha the nut flush but the river came the 3? to give Lu a full house to scoop the entire pot. Meanwhile, Culberson was kicking himself as he admitted he folded pocket eights that would have given him a bigger boat.
The very next hand, short-stacked Benjamin Schroeder moved all in and was called by Lu to put him at risk.
Benjamin Schroeder: 9?9?
Yunye Lu: A?Q?
Schroeder was ahead going into this bout, but the flop of 4?A?K? put Lu in the lead with his ace and the turn A? all but locked it up. The 2? on the river sealed Schroeder's fate and he was eliminated from the tournament.
