Some Luck for Luyckx at the Close
Bart Luyckx has ridden the poker rollercoaster today and decided he wanted to come back with a playable stack so got a bit frisky to win the last two hands played on his table.
In the first Luyckx went all-in from the small blind to steal the big blind and promised the table he would go all-in blind the next hand. Proving true to his work, Luyckx moved all-in blind on the button out of turn for 14,300.
Hong Kong's Darwin Lai then decided to open the action from middle position with a raise to 20,000, which chased out all other customers and the pair flipped over their hands.
Bart Luyckx: 
Darwin Lai: 
Luyckx was in need of some luck and duly received it on the 
flop with the rest of the runout coming 
on the turn and 
on the river to give the Belgium a much-needed double. Luyckx will be returning for Day 2 with a stack of 32,200 while Lai will be coming back with 39,600. All that excitement concludes play for the day.
