Juan Lyons: A♠2♠
Ramon Fernandez: A♥J♠

Lyons found two spades on the 8♠5♣K♠ flop, but the 2♥ turn was even more helpful as he found a pair. The 9♣ was a brick, as Lyons found the double while leaving Fernandez short.

More For Fernandez

Josh Noy

Level 28 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Ramon Fernandez limped in the small blind with 6♦3♦ and Juan Lyons checked his big blind option holding 9♦4♠.

Fernandez checked the 5♥3♠10♣ flop and called when Lyons fired 250,000. The 6♣ turn gave Fernandez two pair, checking again to Lyons. Another bet from Lyons for 450,000 was met with a check-raise to 1,200,000 from Fernandez.

That was enough to take the pot without a river, as Lyons let his hand go.
