On a board of a A♦ 8♦ 4♦ 9♣ , all the money gets in as Lessin barely has Young covered for a 4 million chip pot.
Young: 8♣ 9♦ (2 pairs)
Lessin: A♠ K♠ (top pair, top kicker)
On a board of a A♦ 8♦ 4♦ 9♣ , all the money gets in as Lessin barely has Young covered for a 4 million chip pot.
Young: 8♣ 9♦ (2 pairs)
Lessin: A♠ K♠ (top pair, top kicker)
River: 4♥
Despite being an 86% favorite to win the hand going to the river, the paired board gives Lessin a higher two pairs, and when the counting is done, the pot.
Lessin is now heads up with Michael DeMartino and has more than 4 of the 5 million chips in play.
