Luke Runs Lucky, Goes Past 100K

After hearing about seat 8 having a good spell of premiums, the action found them again just minutes later.

At the 600/1200 level, Ami Barer opened to 2.5k (2bb) and faced a 3-bet from Jakub Wojtas in the BU to 8k (6.6bb), before Luke Martinelli made it 20k (16bb), Barer folded but Wojtas found the call.

Wojtas had 38k (31bb) behind as the effective stack on 9 9 5 , so when Martinelli continued with the aggression to the tune of 13k (11bb) his choice to pile it in was more than acceptable.

Wojtas showed J J , which was drawing thin against Martinelli’s Q Q – and after a turn 2 and river 6 , Martinelli scooped the pot.

“You can make a comment that Paul Carr says this guy is a lucky f**k” commented Paul Carr, with a grin, after the hand.
