King-High Enough for Luneau

Level 15

Stud

We picked up this one on fifth street, with Alexandre Luneau betting and David Bach calling. The pair followed the same pattern on sixth. By seventh Luneau was down to just 25,000 or so, and checked. Bach checked behind.

Luneau: (X)(X) / {Q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs} / (X)
Bach: (X)(X) / {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} / (X)

With a less-than-enthusiastic look Luneau turned over {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Then Bach showed his down cards -- {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} -- and Luneau's mood brightened considerably. Both chuckled to see Luneau's king-high turn out to be good.

Luneau moves up to 225,000 while Bach slips to 275,000.
