Pat Lyons Rivers a Straight Flush

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Pat Lyons
Pat Lyons

Known as "World famous" Pat Lyons was involved in a hand. You may remember him from this year's interview on PokerNews in the Main Event in which he went all-in blind and won the hand live on air.

The hand was picked up on the turn with the board showing {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Lyons checked from the small blind to the only other player big blind.

The big blind bet 3,100 and Lyons who said "I only meant to call I swear to God" raised to 6,200 after he was told he couldn't get change from the 5,000 chip he put in because he also put in 200 in black (100 chips).

The big blind raised all-in for about 10,000 and Lyons made the call to put his opponent at risk.

Big Blind:{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Pat Lyons: {6-Spades}{3-Spades}

The river was {5-Spades} giving Lyons hit a straight flush and eliminating a player from the tournament.
