Luca Gets Lucky to Stay Alive
Level 10
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Argentina's Ivan Luca, who won a World Series of Poker gold bracelet this past summer, moved all in for 81,000 from the button and Oleh Okhotski hit the tank in the big. Eventually he made the call, and he was no doubt happy to discover he had his opponent dominated.
Luca: 
Okhotski: 
The 
flop solidified Okhotski's lead with a flush draw, though Luca did pick up a gutshot. Amazingly, he hit it when the dealer burned and turned the 
. The 
river failed to hit Okhotski, and he seemed a bit miffed as he sent over the chips.
