Team Luther Loses Most; Quadruples After

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Nikita Luther - Kunal Patni
Nikita Luther - Kunal Patni

Michael Newman of Team Newman raised in early position and Nikita Luther of Team Luther defended the big blind.

On the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop Luther checked to Newman who instantly jammed all-in for 165,000 and Luther wasted no time calling.

Team Newman: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Team Luther: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Newman had flopped top two pair while Luther flopped a straight draw and a flush draw. The {q-Diamonds} on the turn made Newman a full house and the {2-Spades} on the river was just a formality. Luther was left with only 15,000 at the end of the hand.

After folding for a few hands, Luther had put her remaining chips in the middle. Holly Babbitt of Team Babbit called in the cutoff and the button called before Samy Dighlawi of Team Ruter raised to 82,000, forcing both players to fold.

Team Luther: {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Team Ruter: {8-Spades}{3-Spades}

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Hearts}, giving Luther top pair to quadruple up.
