Lightbourne Shines After Winning a Big Flip
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
In a massive preflop showdown, Iaron Lightbourne was the player at risk for 2,385,000 against Luigi Curcio to unleash the following coin flip.
Iaron Lightbourne: A♥K♣ 
Luigi Curcio: Q♥Q♠
The A♦9♠8♠ flop vaulted Lightbourne into the lead, but he had a sweat to endure on the J♣ turn, as Curcio picked up a gutshot. No ten or queen came on the 8♣ river, and the Brit doubled to join the bigger stacks in the penultimate level of the night.
