"Big John" With a Big Stack on the Bubble
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
"Big John" Lytle three-bet an early-position open to 60,000 in the hijack and action folded back to the original raiser, who called. The flop was 
and both players checked.
The turn came 
and the early-position player checked to Lytle once more. He fired 35,000 and received a call. The river fell 
and both players checked to take the hand to showdown.
The early-position player tabled 
for second pair, top kicker, and Lytle turned over 
to win the pot with his top pair. Lytle has been seen chipping up over the last couple of levels, and is the likely chip leader on the bubble with a current stack of 1.25 million.
