Lynskey Finds an Ace For a Massive Double Off Brewer
Level 8
: 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Esti Wang had a raise of 85,000 in front of him from early position and Alex Lynskey moved all in for 258,000 in the cutoff. Chris Brewer then reshoved on the button and Wang gave it some thought before folding. "Jacks?" a tablemate asked him.
"Very strong hand," Wang replied.
Alex Lynskey: A♠K♠ 
Chris Brewer: K♣K♥
Brewer was poised for the knockout with his kings as the flop came Q♥7♥3♠. The turn was the A♥ and Lynskey took the lead with a pair of aces, leaving Brewer looking to complete a flush to win the pot. He instead saw the 5♣ fall on the river and Lynskey doubled up.
