Level 9
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
There were about 18,000 chips already in the pot and the board read 
when we got to the table. Ivan Luca had already committed 13,000 from the small blind and was facing a decision for a total of 30,000 from James Calderaro, who was in the big blind. Luca called.
The turn brought the 
and Luca bet 4,000. Calderaro shoved and Luca called for about 25,000 total to put himself at risk.
Luca: 
Calderaro: 
Both players had flopped flush draws, and although Luca's was better, Calderaro had the lead with a pair of eights. The 
on the river further improved Calderaro to trips, so he took the pot to stack Luca.
