Luca Arrives; Takes From Timex
Level 2
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Ivan Luca must have arrived no more than 10 minutes ago and has almost doubled up his stack thanks to a big pot versus Mike "Timex" McDonald. The board was already completed, reading , and Luca had checked out of the big blind. There were about 70,000 chips in the middle and McDonald fired a bet worth 25,000 on the button.
Luca counted out his stack carefully and then made a huge check-raise to more than 150,000. McDonald asked the dealer for a count, received 168,000 as answer, and gave it some more thought. Eventually, the Canadian called and was shown for a full house by Luca to muck his cards.
