The turn brought the 
and Lynskey led out for another 160,000. Passet continued to call and the 
paired the board on the river. Lynskey slowed down with a check this time and Passet stuck in a bet of 260,000. Lynskey went into the tank for a couple of minutes and eventually called. Passet turned over 
for trip eights and Lynskey mucked his cards.
