Doug Lee Eliminated in 12th Place ($16,415)

MrCleverFox

"Today's just not my day," is a classic line from Doug Lee, and it fits for what just happened to him.

Under the gun, Lee made it 60,000. From the button, Baptiste Chavaillaz made a reraise to 130,000. Action folded back to Lee who called.

Flop: .

Action went check, check.

Turn: .

Lee decided to bet out 130,000 here. Then Chavaillaz took little time to move all in for more than 1,000,000, covering Lee's stack. Lee stood up from his chair, collected himself, then announced, "Alright, I call."

Lee:
Chavaillaz:

Lee was ahead and just needed to fade a ten on the river. He fist pumped, excited he was ahead.

River:

That wasn't the right river for Lee, and it sent him right to the payout desk.

"That's brutal," he said after the hand. "At least I made the right call."

Lee collected $16,415 for his efforts at the Bike. Chavaillaz is now close to the chip lead with 2,400,000 chips.

Bjerno Drops Chips, Malka Picks Them Up

MrCleverFox

Bjerno started the day as the chip leader, but now he's back to the middle of the pack after doubling up David Malka.

Preflop, Malka raised to 55,000. Chen called in the cutoff, and Bjerno made it 155,000 from the button. Action folded back to Malka who attempted to put in a raise, but didn't put in enough chips. He made it 215,000, when the raise needed to be at least 255,000. Since it was more than half, it stood as a raise and he put in the extra 40,000. Bjerno then moved all in, and Malka snap called.

Bjerno:
Malka:

The board ran out and that was enough to give Malka the pot. Malka was all in for 796,000 more and doubled to just about 1,700,000 chips while Bjerno dropped under 1 million.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Malka	1,700,000 886,000	886,000
Nathan Bjerno	850,000 -750,000	-750,000
