Chad Lipton opened to 26,000 under the gun, and immediately saw a raise to 76,000 from Brian Roelke. No other players fancied a flop, and when action was back on him, Lipton flatted.
On a flop of 2♠9♥K♦ Lipton checked his option, and Roelke downbet to 33,000. Lipton made the call. The turn 8♥ checked through, then Lipton led out on the J♣ river, to the tune of 80,000. Roelke took his time, called, then mucked as Lipton flipped over A♥K♠
