David Lee Eliminated in 3rd Place ($73,100 AUD)

David Lee - 3rd Place
David Lee - 3rd Place
Hand #180 -

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

Kaselias peeks down at his hand and then announces that he will raise. He places in his call and then makes a raise to 420,000 total. David Lee moves all in from the big blind for 1,485,000 total. This sends Kaselias out of his chair. He sits back down and asks Lee "Do you have a good hand?" Lee doesn't flinch one tiny bit.

Kaselias pains over the decision and stays in the tank for another minute before emphatically making the call.

Showdown:
Lee: {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}
Kaselias: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

"What took so long?" yells on of Kaselias' railbirds.

The flop is {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} and makes Lee's chances a little smaller. The turn is the {8-Clubs} and Lee is pushed even closer to elimination with one card to come.

Both players are standing up awaiting the final card. The dealer burns a card and then places the {2-Diamonds} on the felt. It's close, but not close enough for Lee. He is eliminated in third place, taking home $73,100 AUD for his finish.

Going into heads up play, Kaselias holds 3,255,000 chips, but is still behind Kenneth Damm with 4,960,000.
