Nikita Left Heart-Broken

Spartan Poker Pro and India’s only female WSOP bracelet winner Nikita Luther‘s run at the Main Event has come to an unfortunate end. Just an hour after the end of late registration, Armaan Kochhar bet 10,000 preflop with little slick, and Luther called with Q ❤ 8 ❤ . The action simply checked on the flop of Q ♣ K ❤ T ♣, even though both players had flopped a Q-pair. The turn of 2 ❤ , gave Luther a flush draw, and she immediately shoved all-in with her 54,000 chips after Kochhar bet 13,500. Kochhar called her all-in bet and the river did not show a heart card, leaving Luther heartbroken with a weak kicker.

• Kochhar: A ♠ Q ♠
• Luther: Q ❤ 8 ❤
• Board: Q ♣ K ❤ T ♣ 2 ❤ 3 ♣
