Lyons Gets Away as Ledesma Takes Big Lead
Level 29
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Juan Lyons called on the button with 9♠3♣ and Manuel Ledesma checked his big blind option with J♠3♠.
Both players connected with the 3♥3♦8♣ flop but both checked to the 5♣ turn. Ledesma checked to Lyons, who bet 250,000. Ledesma then check-raised to 700,000 and Lyons made the call.
The A♠ river left Ledesma's jack kicker in front and he bet 1,500,000. Lyons took some time before raising to 3,900,000. Ledesma answered by raising all in for 9,750,000.
Lyons stood up to contemplate his decision, using a pair of time bank cards before finding the fold. Ledesma raked in the pot to take a big chip lead.
