Straight Flush for Lyons; Barton Busted

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

Jared Shipley opened to 1,600 in early position, Pat Lyons three-bet to 10,100 from the cutoff, and Christopher Barnes four-bet all in for 27,900.

Shipley folded, and Lyons thought it over for a bit before calling.

Christopher Barnes: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Pat Lyons: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Board: {7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Barnes was one card away from the double up, but the river {9-Clubs} brought in the straight flush for Lyons, who's been on a heater so far in Day 1b action.

The Life of Lyons

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

Shortly after winning a massive pot with a straight flush, Pat Lyons found himself with an opportunity to call an all-in three-bet from Jeff Day.

Lyons, who had opened from early position and faced the all in from Day in the hijack, made the call.

Jeff Day: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Pat Lyons: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}

Board: {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

This time it was a full house doing the job for Lyons, who's now at three times the starting stack.

Details leading up to the river are unknown, but with about 20,000 already in the middle, Daniel Kozakevich bet 9,000 from the big blind, sending his cutoff opponent into the tank.
