Lunkin Rivers Opponent

Vitaly Lunkin
Vitaly Lunkin
On a board of {J-Spades} {6-Spades} {5-Clubs} {10-Spades} and with about 14,000 in the pot a player moved all in for 25,725 from the big blind.

Vitaly Lunkin was his lone opponent and was sent into the tank for several minutes after the all in shove. An ESPN camera crew circled the table as the $40,000 No Limit Champion continued to replay the hand in his hand. Finally he made a call.

Big blind: {K-Spades} {8-Spades}
Lunkin: {A-Spades} {J-Clubs}

The river brought the {Q-Spades} giving Lunkin the ace high flush to eliminate his opponent.

Vitaly Lunkin - 123,000
