Bart Lybaert opened to 35,000 in early position. Ben Bensimhon, who started the day as the chipleader, three-bet to 90,000 from the hijack. Lybaert called and both players saw the 
flop.
Lybaert checked to Bensimhon, who bet 80,000. Lybaert quickly came along with the call. On the 
turn, Lybaert check-called a bet of 160,000 from his Swiss adversary. The 
river got instantly checked by both players.
Lybaert showed 
for kings and jacks and Bensimhon mucked. With the pot, Lybaert dragged the chip lead from Bensimhon.
