Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

On a table that was only playing four-handed at the time, Benoit Fiasson and Alex Lynskey were heads-up in a raised pot with nearly 20,000 in the middle already. The board read K♠J♣6♥7♦ and Lynskey check-called a bet of 11,000 from Fiasson who was on the button.

The river was the 9♦ and Lynskey checked again. Fiasson tanked for nearly two minutes before shoving all in. Lynskey met him with a snap-call and Fiasson tabled A♥A♣. Lynskey also revealed A♠A♦ and the two players smirked as they chopped the pot.
