Lee Applies Maximum Pressure
Jangkyu Lee opened to 25,000 from under the gun and action folded around to the small blind, who called. The big blind got out of the way to send the two players heads-up to the flop.
The small blind checked on the 
flop and then called the 40,000 continuation from Lee.
The 
turn saw the small blind player check for a second time and Lee, in no mood to get to a cheap showdown, sized up a bet to 100,000. It did not take long for his opponent to make the call.
The small blind checked for a third time after the 
came on the river. Without too much hesitation, Lee announced all in, covering his opponent. The small blind player went into the tank for a couple of minutes, counting and re-counting his chip stack. Ultimately he decided to find a better spot, letting his hand go. The player to Lee's left said after the hand that he had seen Lee holding a 
, a statement that caused the small blind player to shake his head in frustration before getting out of his seat to take a lap of the room.
