Yang Takes From Lee as Last Five Hands Announced
Preston Lee and Dongzhe Yang played a bunch yesterday in the High Roller, and by a strange quirk of fate have found themselves seating at the same table in the Main Event as the opening flight enters the closing stages.
The two played a sizable pot that was all decided pre-flop, with Yang opening the action from the hijack with a raise to 3,000. Lee gave Yang little credit for a hand and opted to three-bet to 8,500, only to see Yang respond with a four-bet and the Chinese player casually tossed out a handful of blue 5k chips to make it 25,000 to go in total.
Lee looked unimpressed at this turn of events, reconsidered Yang's hand range and thew his cards away, leaving the Chinese player free to rake in the pot and climb to 67,000 while Lee dropped to 45,000. The last five hands were announced right as the pair finished the hand.
