Shawn Lucas found aces before he could finish building his castle

Shawn Lucas wasted no time building up a big stack. After the first hand of the new level, second of the day, we saw Brad Coultas and Matthew Yorra awaiting payout slips. Lucas was smiling, piling up a lot of chips, and three-bet shoved on the third hand of the day.

No calls and Lucas laughed as he showed aces.

We didn’t see the double knockout but we know Lucas is now over 500K after three hands.

Shawn Lucas – 506,000 (101 bb)
