APT High Roller - Final Day - PHP 15,000,000 GTD

Alexander Lynskey

Hand 126 Daniel Neilson, on the button, limped with K♣ Q♣ and was checked by Alexander Lynskey, who held J♠ 3♣, to see a flop of 5♣ J♣ 9♣.

Neilson bet 300,000 with his flopped flush. Lynskey, who had hit a pair of jacks, unknowingly raised Neilson to 650,000. Neilson, setting a trap, flat-called.

The turn 4♠ prompted Lynskey to shove all-in for 2,000,000, risking his tournament life. Knowing he had the nuts, Neilson went into the tank, determined to slow-roll his fellow Australian. He threw in two time bank cards, maintaining a stoic face to disguise the joke, even taking a sip of his drink.

After enjoying the moment, Neilson finally smiled and called. As the cards were revealed, Lynskey shot him a look of friendly disbelief, then smiled at the theatrical display.

The inconsequential river 6♠ was dealt, and Lynskey was eliminated in 2nd place.
