Hand #150: Michael Dyer opened to 1,000,000 from middle position and Alex Lynskey defended his big blind. The flop fell {k-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Lynskey check-called a bet of 925,000 from Dyer. The turn brought the {2-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {a-Spades} on the river. Two more checks and Lynskey showed {7-}{7-} while Dyer tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} to win the pot.

Hand #151: The action folded around to John Cynn who raised it up to 1,100,000 on the button. Tony Miles called from the big blind and the flop came {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Miles checked to Cynn who continued for 1,200,000 and Miles made the call.

The turn brought the {j-Spades} and Miles checked again. Cynn fired another 2,600,000 and Miles check-raised all in for 13,500,000. Cynn quickly called and the cards were tabled.

John Cynn: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Tony Miles: {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Miles was in the lead with two pair but Cynn had outs to counterfeit him. The dealer burned and turned the {k-Diamonds} on the river and Miles held on for a full double-up.
