Lyall Building Stack
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Dean Lyall, Aleksei Savenkov, and Nacho Barbero were on a flop of 5♦8♥K♣, with a pot of 20,000 in the middle. Barbero checked from the big blind before Lyall followed suit under the gun.
Savenkov fired 6,000 on the button, to which Barbero quickly folded. Lyall stuck around, however, and called to see the 6♣ turn.
Savenkov increased his bet to 13,000 and was once again check-called by Lyall, after which the pair checked down the J♥ river.
Lyall showed down J♠J♣ for a rivered set of jacks and added some more chips to climb to double the average stack.
