Belgian Bart Lybaert has been using the MyStack app, and we caught up with him briefly after his stack jumped up to 8,500,000.

According to Lybaert it all came down to two hands. First, a player opened and Lybaert raised to 300,000 on the button. His opponent called. The flop came {q-}{10-}{4-} with two clubs. Lybaert continued for 350,000 and his opponent moved all in for 1,200,000. Lybaert called with {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the nut flush draw, and the {5-Clubs} on the turn helped him best the {j-}{j-} of his opponent.

Then in a different hand, Lybaert raised from under the gun to 100,000 and got one caller before the cutoff squeezed to 400,000. Lybaert four-bet to 900,000 and the caller folded.

The cutoff then five-bet all in for 2,500,000 and Lybaert called. Lybaert held {a-}{a-} and his opponent {k-}{k-}.

"And aces held?" we asked Lybaert.

The Belgian smiled and pointed towards his stack. "What do you think?"
