Lightbourne is Shining Again
Level 25
: 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante
A massive pot of more than 1.7m was brewing between Iaron Lightbourne in the cutoff and Philip Hepburn in the big blind, the board was showing 
. Hepburn checked and Lightbourne moved all in, his stack was counted and the shove was for 1,509,500.
Hepburn ultimately called and then sighed when he spotted the cards of his opponent.
Iaron Lightbourne: 
Philip Hepburn: 
The 
on the river was a brick and Hepburn lost a big chunk of his stack. Two years ago, Lightbourne won the £2,200 WPT Nottingham Main Event here in the Dusk Till Dawn for a career-best score of £200,000 and the Brit is looking for an even bigger payday in this week.
