Lee Wins Massive Flip, Leaves Ho Short for the First Time in Two Days
Level 41
: Blinds 1,200,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
Jin Hoon Lee limped from the small blind only to see Maria Ho jam from the big blind to put Lee at risk. Lee paused briefly before deciding to make the call to set up a runout with himself the player at risk.
Jin Hoon Lee: A?9?
Maria Ho: 4?4?
The J?5?6? flop was safe for Ho, but when the turn brought the A?, Ho was left needing help headed to the river.
The dealer burned a card and put the 6? out on the river, securing a massive chip lead double for Lee and leaving Ho with a short stack for the first time since the start of Day 2.
