Wild Hand Leaves Wilds in Trouble

[user67765]
[user67765]
With three limpers in the pot, Thang Luu decided that his option would be to raise from the big blind. All three opponents called and they saw a flop of {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

Luu led out with a bet, Mark Wilds and George Guzman made the call, with James Pritchard folding from the small blind.

The turn brought the {4-Spades} and Luu led out again with a bet, Wilds raised it up which forced Guzman out of the pot. Luu called.

The river landed the {2-Diamonds} and Luu fired another bet and Wilds quickly called.

Luu said, "Three quarters..." as he flipped {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for the ace-high flush and nut low, as Wilds let out a cry of digust at being rivered for the low as he showed {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

Luu extends his lead to around 800,000 chips with Wilds now on the short stack with about 100,000 chips.
