Lynskey Gets an Early Double Up

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Alexander Lynskey
Alexander Lynskey

Alexander Lynskey opened to 12,000 from early position and Jorden Fox three-bet to 26,000 directly to his left. The action folded back to Lynskey who stuck in a four-bet to 66,000 and Fox just called.

The flop fell {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Lynskey led out for 30,000. Fox called to see the {j-Spades} on the turn and Lynskey opted to check this time. Fox announced all in and Lynskey called to put himself at risk for 91,000. Fox tabled {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} but it was no match for the {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} from Lynskey.

The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Lynskey's pair of kings held on to earn him a full double up in the opening hour of play.
