Lee Again

[user66118]

We realize this blog is turning into the Bernard Lee show a bit, but he's really the only one doing any damage at this point.

We picked up another pot involving Lee a moment ago. He was in the small blind, and there was a three-way, three-bet pot stacked in the middle. It had been opened to 850 by a middle-position raiser, and the button had flatted before the action came to Lee. His three-bet was to 2,550, and both opponents called to see the flop.

The dealer presented them with {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {J-Spades} , and Lee checked. The initial raiser put out 3,200 to fold the button, but Lee check-raised with enough chips to cover. Mr. Raiser had about 9,000 left in front of him, and he quickly called it off with his {3-Hearts} {9-Hearts} drawing at the flush. Lee quietly rolled over {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} , and he needed to fade two cards to earn the knockout.

The turn was the safe {K-Diamonds} and the river the {9-Spades} , and Lee let out a little fist pump under the table as his aces held.

That's another knockout for Lee, and he's already worked his stack up into the overnight top ten right now. His nearly 90,000 chips are more than all but four players bagged up in the earlier flight. And if you've watched Lee play for any period of time, you know it's tough to get your chips back from him once he has them.
