Lynskey Takes Largest Pot of the Day

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Alexander Lynskey found himself involved in the biggest pot of the day with [Removed:342]. The two players were already heads-up on the river with the board reading {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and there was over 175,000 in the pot.

[Removed:343] checked to Lynskey who bet 58,000. [Removed:343] thought for a couple minutes then grabbed a heap of chips and said, "I'll raise another 58,000". Lynskey pondered his decision and had a feeling he might be beaten, but there was too much in the pot for him to lay it down so he made the call. [Removed:343] showed {J-Hearts}{J-Spades} while Lynskey had two pair with {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.
