Lukac Wins Big Off Yurasov

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Brennan Benglis was the biggest stack at his table for a short while, but Emil Lukac just took over the role after scooping a big pot against Dmitry Yurasov. The board was already completed and showed {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and Yurasov checked out of the small blind with some 80,000 in the pot.

Lukac was in the big blind and bet 43,000. After plenty of consideration, Yurasov tossed in the chips for the call and was shown {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a straight by Lukac. That knocked down Yurasov below the average with fewer than 350 players remaining, and their table is one of the next to break.
