Alex Lynskey

Alex Lynskey raised from middle position and was called by Majid Saab on the button as well as the player in the big blind.

The river brought the {3-} and Lynskey bet out 48,000. Saab then moved all in for over 100,000 in chips and Lynskey called having him covered.

Saab tabled {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the nut flush but would end up falling to Lynskey who had {q-}{q-} for a full house.

Hahn Pressures Sawyers

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
