Ivan Luca Eliminated in 20th Place ($282,630)

Level 33 : 150,000/300,000, 50,000 ante
Ivan Luca
Ivan Luca

Secondary Table Hand #54: Ivan Luca opened to 4,000,000 in middle position before Michael Dyer shoved all in from the small blind for close to 48 million.

Luca went into the tank for several minutes as he began looking around at the other table before he eventually called all in for his last 75,000.

Luca: {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Dyer: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The dealer spread a sweat-tastic {3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop to give Luca outs to a flush to go along with his two over cards. Luca however had two clubs that he would need to fade as it would give Dyer a straight flush.

The dealer burned and turned the {K-Diamonds} on the turn, and when the {Q-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, Luca was eliminated in 20th place for a $282,630 payday.
