Lunardi Takes One From Botta

Kristian Lunardi

Kristian Lunardi has just collided a nice pot to chip himself up at the expense of Daniel Botta.

Both players have trophies in their cabinet from success on the Crown Poker Room felt this year, but this time it was Lunardi who took the pot.

Botta opened to 350 from middle position, before Lunardi made it 1,050 to go. The table folded around and Botta made the call to see a {Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop.

Botta checked, Lunardi fired 1,500 and Botta made the call. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and Botta checked and Lunardi released a second bullet worth 3,500. The heat was too much for Botta as he let his hand go.

Lunardi chips up to 28,000 with Botta back to 19,000.
