Paper Wasted in the Silver Section
Chris Lee opened to 80,000 from the hijack and the cutoff called before Matthias Auer three-bet to 285,000 on the button.
Action got back to Lee and he three-bet jammed a stack of around 2,600,000 to bring a quick fold from the hijack as Auer squirmed in his chair. Auer clearly didn't like the situation and put in a crying call as he quickly flipped his hand face-up as if ripping off a Band-Aid.
Chris Lee: A?K?
Matthias Auer: A?K?
Both players had ace-king and there were no sweats as the board ran out 10?J?7?K?J? for the two to chop the pot.
"Come on, Seat 1, you're never folding ace-king," a table mate teased Auer as others were ready to move onto the next hand.
"Four guys just wasted a page of paper," Chris Hak said after the anticlimactic ending to the hand that had the attention of several reporters and cameramen.
