Heart-Attack For Cliff Lee

George Chrisanthopoulos opened under-the-gun with Cliff Lee raising from the cut-off. Chrisanthopoulos fired back to 5,500 and Lee moved all in. Chrisanthopoulos made the call and the players tabled their cards.

Chrisanthopoulos {Q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Lee {A-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Lee liked his chances until the {5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop hit. He began to gather his things together and the {a-Diamonds} spiked to put him back out in front.

The river was the {10-Spades} to drop Chrisanthopoulos down to 10,000 in chips after he had started well. Cliff Lee does the reverse and moves up to 40,000 after starting slow.

"Sorry about the smell fellas but I think I crapped myself" said Lee as he stacked his chips.
