Lynskey Scores a Massive Double to Top the Counts

Adam Lamers

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 Q♣5♦2♦ 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 K♦10♦ for Broadway while his opponent was left with A♠Q♦ for two pair. Lynskey earned a massive double-up and is now sitting at the top of the leaderboard.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A completed board of 7♠2♥2♣10♠4♠ was spread across the felt with around 15,000 in the middle. Kalidou Sow and Nick Pupillo were heads-up in the pot and Sow led out with a bet of 11,100 from the big blind. Pupillo jammed all in for 86,700 in the cutoff and Sow asked for a count.

"I know you're gonna show me a full house if I do anything but fold," Sow started talking to himself. "I have a pretty strong hand, though."

Sow mulled it over for a moment and then slid out the chips to call. Pupillo tabled 4♥4♦ for a full house and Sow mucked his hand face down.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On a river reading 5♣4♠9♦2♣5♠, with two checks in front of him, the late position player bet 12,000 which extracted a guffaw from Eric "Barstool Nate" Nathan as he folded. Evgenii Fidchuk, however, did make the call and showed the 3♠6♠ without waiting for his opponent to show, prompting the late position player to launch their hand into the muck.

The very next hand Punnat Punsri raised in late position to 1,600 and was called by Nathan in the small blind, and Maria Ho in the big blind.

The flop rolled off the 2♠9♥5♥ and all three players tapped the table, prompting the 4♣ to roll off the deck.

Again, Nathan checked and this time Ho was the one to bet, to the tune of 4,000 which was then raised to 12,200 by Punsri. Nathan quickly folded.

Ho took some time with her decision and settled on a call. Heads up, they saw a river of the 4♣. Ho checked and Punsri assembled a pseudo all-in bet, just leaving himself one chip behind.

Ho was slow to release but did slide her hand forward, awarding the pot to Punsri.
