Lee Cracks Aces . . . For a Minute

Chad Holloway

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Bernard Lee was seen exiting the tournament floor but was kind enough to fill us in on his elimination hand. According to Lee, his opponent raised preflop to 14,000 and Lee shipped his remaining 67,000 in the pot. His opponent snap-called and showed {A-} {A-} , which was far ahead of Lee's {6-} {6-} .

The {10-} {10-} {2-} flop was no help to Lee, but a {6-} on the turn gave him a full house and the lead. Unfortunately for him, the river was a {10-} and his opponent had tens full of aces. Lee hit the rail in brutal fashion.
