Cliff Lee Claims Another Victim With Pocket Rockets

Cliff Lee raised to 375 before the flop and found one caller in the big blind. The flop came {A-}{5-}{5-} and both players tapped the table. After the {7-} fell on the turn, both players checked it around and a {10-} arrived on the river.

Lee's opponent led out for a bet of 875 and Lee reraised to 2,000. This prompted the opponent shove all-in for his last 4,000 and Lee snap-called with his {A-}{A-} for a flopped full house. The other player was stunned and turned over {7-}{7-} for a lesser full house made on the turn.
