Defending champion Thang Luu is cruising once again this year. On this hand, Luu raised before Warren Karp reraised. Luu made the call.

The flop came down {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

and Luu checked. Karp bet and Luu called.

The turn brought the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

and both players checked. The river was the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

and Luu led out with a bet. Karp made the call.

Luu tabled {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

for a wheel that was good enough to scoop the entire pot. He now has a massive 62,000 chips and looks to be building one heck of a fortress to defend his title!
