A Straight for Lee
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Dae-Hyung Lee checked from the big blind on a board of 8?10?J?8?. Joseph Gallagher was in the hijack and fired 3,200 into the pot of 7,500 before Lee check-raised to 10,000.
Gallagher looked him up and the K? river fell. Lee now continued with another bet, this time of 14,000. Again, a quick call followed from Gallagher.
Lee showed Q?9? and declared "straight," after a puzzled look from his opponent. After hearing the news, Gallagher mucked his cards and the pot was awarded to Lee.
