Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There was a raise to 1,800 in the hijack and Alex Lynskey flat-called from the cutoff. They went heads-up to a flop of Q52 and the action checked to Lynskey who bet 3,000. His opponent check-raised to 10,500 and Lynskey called.

The turn was the J and Lynskey was faced with a bet of 17,500 this time which he still called. The A completed the board and the hijack led out with another bet of 44,000. Lynskey pushed all in for 100,100 and his opponent thought for a moment before dropping in a call.

Lynskey turned over K10 for Broadway while his opponent was left with AQ for two pair. Lynskey earned a massive double-up and is now sitting at the top of the leaderboard.
