Carter Luna moved all in from the cutoff for 55,000, and Shawn Lucas called from the big blind with AdKs. Luna turned over Ac8d, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 5h4s2c10sJd, and they flopped identical gutshot straight draws for a possible chop, but Luna improved no further. Lucas won the pot with his king kicker to eliminate Luna in sixth place.
