Nasty River Sends Lee to the Rail
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Hanseok Ko opened 1,800 in the cutoff and Hun Lee defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♠9♦4♠, and Lee check-called a continuation bet of 1,600.
When the 2♦ fell on the turn, Lee check-raised all-in against the bet of 7,500 from Ko. Ko went deep into the tank. After two minutes had passed, Ko asked how much the bet was and the dealer let him know it was 19,300. A few more seconds went by before Ko splashed in the call.
Hun Lee: A♦J♦
Hanseok Ko: 10♦8♦
Both players had turned a flush draw but Lee was way ahead with his ace-high. The 8♣ river was a nasty one for Lee, though, as it paired Ko to send him to the rail.
