Dec 16, 2024

On a flop of Spade 2Diamond 4Diamond 5, Yue Du leads for 4,500 and Kenn Pluard moves all in for 30,000. Then Frank Russo shoves behind for 61,800 and the action is back to Du who goes into the tank. 

After over a minute Du makes the call to put both players at risk and the cards are on their backs. 

Kenn Pluard: Club 10Heart 10
Frank Russo: Spade 4Spade 5
Yue Du: Diamond KDiamond 2

Russo is currently in the lead with his two pair, but he has to fade a ton of outs to keep it that way. 

Sure enough, the Diamond A appears right on the turn to give Du the nut flush and Russo is left drawing to four outs while Pluard is out of the equation. 

The river falls the brick Club 7 and the pot is pushed to Du, eliminating both Russo and Pluard. 

Yue Du – 216,100
Frank Russo – Eliminated 
Kenn Pluard – Eliminated
