Luyt Among the Chip Leaders
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Right before the end of the level, Stephen Courtney went to war against Chris Luyt. They were on a flop of A♥J♣9♣ and Courtney bet 3,500. Luyt raised to 8,500 only for Courtney to make it 17,000 to do.
"Do you have a set?" Luyt asked and called shortly after. Once they checked down the 4♥ turn and 6♦ river, Luyt added "it's either saving you or me". He showed the J♠9♠ for two pair and that won the pot, as Courtney only had A♠5♥ for top pair.
