De-Lux

After dropping an earlier pot, we saw William Lux push his last 28,000 forward holding the button. In a normal blind stealing situation, this move may have worked, but with Hoyt Corkins and Michael Thorpe still to act behind him, Lux was called in two spots.

The flop came down {3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, and after Corkins checked to Thorpe, he immediately announced himself all in. Corkins got out of the way, and Lux turned over his {q-Hearts}{8-Spades} for top pair. Unfortunately for him, Thorpe held the {3-Spades}{8-Hearts}, and his rags had turned to riches on the ragged flop. The {5-Hearts} on the turn added some outs for Lux, and Thorpe called out for no more hearts to come. When the {7-Diamonds} brought the wrong kind of red, Lux was eliminated here early on this Day 3 of the Seniors Championship.
