Chiu Yeung Lee has just collected one of his first pots of this final table and, as has become standard for Lee, there were plenty of theatrics associated with it.
The pot wasn’t huge as Jonathan Bredin raised preflop, bet 15,000 on the flop before both players checked the turn to see the board read . This is where things got rather silly.
Lee was first to act and he appeared to love the attention, sitting in the tank for a good three minutes. Maybe even longer. He cut down his chips several times, threw up a few smiles and even waved at Bredin in a rather awkward moment.
Eventually Lee threw out 20,000 and Bredin quickly looked it up with for ace-high, but it was all Hollywood by Lee as he opened for trip nines.
Daniel Neilson was looking like he was going to be the next player eliminated when he had his short stack all in preflop holding against the of Raj Ramakrishnan.

Narbey checked it over to Bredin who bet 38,000. Narbey deliberated before making the call before both checked the turn. The river brought a repeat and Narbey led out for 48,000. Bredin instantly gave it up as Narbey takes some chips from the chip leader.
Ricky Kroesen opened with a raise to 16,000 with both Daniel Neilson and Jon-Pierre Narbey making the call. The trio saw a flop of and Kroesen followed up for 23,000. Neilson made the call but Narbey upped the price to 50,000. Kroesen got out of the way but Neilson called again to see the hit the turn.
Neilson checked and Narbey checked behind as the completed the board. Neilson led out with a small bet of 40,000 but after several minutes of deliberation, Narbey responded with another raise, this time to 100,000.

Narbey is now flying with 650,000 as Neilson is now back on the short stack with just 65,000.
