Brandon Sheils raised from the cutoff before Alex Lynskey re-raised from the small blind. Sheils called.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Lynskey bet a quarter of the pot. Sheils called.

Both players checked the {7-Spades} on the turn before the {6-Hearts} completed the board.

Lynskey then moved all in for 600,000 which had Sheils' stack of 250,000 covered. Sheils went into the tank for several minutes.

"What you got Alex? I need some help," Sheils begged, trying to get something out of Lynskey.

"Argh. So gross," Sheils added. "Thoughts my man? Come on," he added.

Sheils kept going asking Lynskey a series of questions all whilst Lynskey sat motionless staring at the board.

"If you want me to hero call with ace-high you'll need to talk me into it," continued Shiels.

"When is the next pay jump? Oh there's one soon," joked Sheils.

Eventually Andrew Scarf called time and Sheils was given 40 seconds to make a decision.

The clock counted down to just a few seconds remaining and Sheils called.

Lynskey then tabled {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for a full house and took down the pot after Sheils flashed his {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for two pair.

"That's why you were so relaxed," said Suzy Khoueis following the hand.

Both Sheils and Lynskey discussed the hand for a little after the hand before Sheils made his way to the cashier's desk.
