Event 24: Luke Arora Doubles in Last Hand of Level 6

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 6: 200/400 with a 50 ante
Players: 579

With around 3,500 in the pot and a flop of Jd6c2h, the players in the small and big blinds both checked to Luke Arora, who earlier this year won the Mid-States Poker Tour Running Ace Main Event for $83,773.

Arora bet 800 from the under-the-gun position, the small blind folded, and the player in the big called to see the Kd turn. The big blind checked and Arora moved all in for his last 6,175. His opponent didn’t seem excited, but made the call nonetheless.

Arora: Kh7h
Big Blind: [6d7d]

Arora pulled ahead by pairing his king on the turn, but his opponent picked up a flush draw to go with his pair of sixes. The dealer burned one last time and put out the 2s, a safe card to give Arora the double.

Luke Arora – 18,000
