Lytle Spikes the River to Move Over Half a Million
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
John Lytle and his opponent were heads up on the 
board. Lytle fired out a bet of 50,000 into a main pot of about 100,000 and his opponent moved all in for 175,000.
Lytle called turning over 
for top pair and the nut flush draw but would need a diamond on the river as his opponent showed 
for a turned flush.
The 
hit the river and Lytle improved to the nut flush to collect the $100 bounty and drag in the biggest pot of the night.
Lytle is now at the top of the chip counts and he's the first player to cross the half a million chip mark.
