Mizzi Takes Out Lee

[user66118]

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Bernard Lee was riding the short stack when he moved in with {K-Diamonds} {7-Spades} first into the pot. It may have worked if Sorel Mizzi didn't wake up with {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} , and Lee was in need of some quick help as the cards were turned up.

There would be no help from the dealer, though, as the board ran {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts} to send Lee out the door. He and Curt Kohlberg both made the final table at the Midwest Regional Championship in October, locking up their seats for the National Championship in May. There'll be no repeat final table for either of them, though fellow finalists Shannon Shorr and Doc Sands are both still in the field.
