Wendy Lu Nearly Wins A-K vs. A-K

Apr 27, '18

Wendy Lu opened from late position and a player in the blinds shoved for about 25,000. It was folded back to Lu and she made the call. She tabled AK, while her opponent flipped over AK. It was more than likely going to be a chop, but by the turn the board was reading QJ6K, which meant that Lu had a flush draw. The 7 on the river wasn’t one of her diamonds, and Lu was still sitting with about 40,000.

Wendy Lu Finds A Double

Apr 27, '18

A player raised from under-the-gun to 1,200, and got called in five different spots. The flop fell 764 and it checked to the player under-the-gun +1, who bet 3,000.

The hijack called, and the cutoff and button both folded. Wendy Lu then moved all-in from the big blind for 18,425, forcing folds from her next two opponents. After seeing the price he was getting, the hijack called with 55.

Lu held 72 for top pair and a flush draw. The board completed 106, and Lu doubled up to about 48,000 after making a flush.
