Ness Reilly is all in from middle position for 228,000 with Spade KHeart K, and she needs it to hold to stay alive against the Diamond 9Club 9 of WPT Champions Club member Pat Lyons, who is UTG+1.

Reilly is sitting right next to her husband Tim; the seating is obviously random, but the deeper they go and the smaller the field becomes, the more likely it is that they’ll be at the same table.

As the dealer starts putting out the board, Tim teases Ness by blocking her vision so she can’t see the cards, and he playfully warns her that Lyons is going to make a set.

The board comes Club KSpade 10Club 7Heart 5Spade 9, and sure enough, Lyons rivers a set of nines. But Ness had flopped a set of kings, and she wins the pot to double up in chips.

Ness Reilly  –  483,000  (48 bb)
Pat Lyons  –  460,000  (46 bb)
