Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
After a flop of 
, Simon Lazenby was all in and at risk after calling the all in of an opponent with 
for ace-high. It was a marginal and risky move, but his opponent only held 
for the open ended straight draw. Lazenby held up with the 
turn and the 
river as final two community cards to double up to 47,000.
One hand later the same opponent was all in short-stacked with and this time Lazenby had the far more dominating hand in 
. The 
flop was a little shock, but the 
turn paired the board and brought Lazenby back into the lead. A blank 
river sent the opponent to the rail and Lazenby apologized. "That was #### lucky," another player on the table remarked. "That's my middle name," joked Lazenby before stacking the chips.
