So What if it's Unrequited?

It's Not Serious
It's Not Serious
Clint Schafer opened for 55,000 from middle position and Jeremy Joseph and David Saab both called. From the small blind Mauro Lupo min-raised to 110,000 and Schafer chose to fold. Joseph then moved all in for 700,000, and after Saab folded Lupo made the call.

He found that his {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} was pipped by Joseph's {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}. The dealer (whose name is Sara, this is important) burned a card and turned over a flop of...{10-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}.

"I love you, Sara!!" Lupo shouted as his top set now had the lead. But Joseph still had an open-ended straight draw...until the {8-Hearts} on the turn gave Lupo a full house. The {2-Diamonds} on the turn didn't save Joseph and he's now down to 1.74 million, while Lupo doubled to 2.22 million.
