Lyons Shoves the River, Doubles

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Pat Lyons raised to 16,000 pre-flop and was called by Mark McGaffin. Lyons continued for another 16,000 on the {2-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop, and McGaffin called.

Lyons bet 22,000 on the {9-Diamonds} turn and McGaffin stuck around to see the {10-Clubs} river. This time Lyons shoved for around 100,000, sending McGaffin into the tank.

McGaffin eventually called and Lyons showed {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a rivered two pair, tens and sevens. "Don't show, it might be a winner," Lyons said to McGaffin, who mucked his hand.

"I was bluffing the river anyway. I got lucky," Lyons said.
