Vital Catch for Lunkin

The Vitallian Stallion!
The Vitallian Stallion!
Seat one opens the action to 8,000. Vitaly Lunkin then goes all in for 38,900. The next player to act thinks for a minute before flat calling. Back around to the original raiser who then goes all in, the flatter insta-calls. IGNITION!

The flatter shows {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} , Seat one (the original raiser) shows {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs} . Mr Lunkin then tables his powerhouse {K-Spades} {7-Clubs} . Lets run 'em!

The flop came {4-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} and the aces were still looking good. The turn was the {6-Spades} giving Lunkin a double gutshot straight draw. Some "oooh's" and "ahhh's" came from the crowd that had gathered around the table. Then like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, the {9-Clubs} hit the river giving Lunkin the ten high straight.

Lunkin triples up to over 130,000 and is all smiles.
