There were roughly 16,000 chips in the pot on K♥4♣10♥2♦J♣. Placey bet 13,000 from the small blind, Patrick Lyons said "I hope you dont have ace-queen", and called.

Placey tabled A♠Q♣ for the nut straight, Lyons said "you get so lucky against me".

The very next hand:

Lyons raised in the in the hijack to 1,300, Peter Placey called in the big blind.

Lyons decided to bet 2,100 when the flop came 4♦J♦5♥, Placey check-called. The action did not slow down on the 7♥ turn as Lyons bet again for 3,300, Placey check-called. The 3♦ saw Lyons empty a third barrel for 7,300, Placey quickly called.

Lyons tabled queen-high with Q♠10♣, and Placey tabled top pair with J♣10♦, and took another pot from Lyons.
