Neagoe Sends Lukovic Packing with Two Pair
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
PokerNews jumped into the action with about 6,000 in the pot and the board showing 5?Q?3?K?9?.
Darius Neagoe was in the big blind position, while Nemanja Lukovic sat on the button. Lukovic had already put in a bet of 3,000, and now it was Neagoe's turn to act. He went all in, putting the pressure on Lukovic, who had roughly 3,500 behind. After a moment of deliberation, Lukovic stood up, knowing this could be his last hand, and made the call.
He revealed K?10? for a pair of kings. But Neagoe had K?5?, giving him two pair, kings and fives. With that, Neagoe scooped the pot, eliminating Lukovic from the tournament.
