The River Saves Rann and Crushes Lynskey
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
James Rann opened to 100,000 from the cutoff seat, and then Alex Lynskey reraised to 275,000 out of the big blind. After some tanking, Rann reraised all in for 1.395 million, and Lynskey snap-called.
Lynskey tabled the 
in a confident manner, and he had the 
beat after catching Rann with his hand in the cookie jar.
The flop and turn came 
to keep Lynskey in the lead, but the dirty 
on the river delivered the blow that would double Rann up.
Lynskey was crippled down to 300,000 in chips.
