Lyons Holds on With Top Pair
Level 2
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Juan Lyons raised the button to 300 and Simon Keating defended from the big blind.
Keating checked the 8♥3♦5♦ flop, and Lyons bet 500. Keating check-raised to 1,200 and Lyons called.
Keating bet 2,400 when the J♦ dropped on the turn and Lyons called. The 2♣ came on the river which saw both players check. Keating announced eight, but mucked when Lyons turned over K♠8♦ for a pair of eights with a king kicker.
