Bart Lybaert

Manig Loeser has just entered the tournament after arriving in Cyprus yesterday from Monte Carlo and got seated at the same table as Bart Lybaert.

Lybaert shoved from under the gun for 26,400 and was called by the player in the small blind. Loeser quickly folded his big blind in his first hand of the day.

Bart Lybaert: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {q-Clubs}{k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts} for Lybaert to flop a pair of queens and improve to two pair on the river to double up.
