Another Double Up for Lee

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Yet another all in showdown took place and it was Hak-Hyun Lee that hammed the button with the {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and picked up a snap-call by Antoine Labat in the big blind with the {J-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Lee flopped a pair, turned a flush draw and rivered two pair on the {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} board to remain in contention, while Labat once again ended up second-best in the showdown against a shorter stack.

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Antoine Labat raised to 300,000 with the {K-Clubs}{J-Spades} and [Removed:208] called on the button with {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The flop brought {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and Labat continued for 300,000, Dacic called after brief consideration.

On the {K-Diamonds} turn, Labat improved to top pair and he checked, Dacic checked behind. The {7-Spades} river changed nothing whatsoever and Labat eyed the stack of his opponent before leading for 675,000. Dacic used one of his three remaining time bank cards and folded.

Lee Jams Three Times

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Antoine Labat in the big blind with {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts} called a raise to 275,000 by James Williams, who held {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Both players opted to check down the {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Clubs} board until the river and Labat bet to force a fold from Williams.

Hak-Hyun Lee shoved pocket sixes and Williams folded {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} in the big blind.

One hand later, Lee jammed the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for 845,000 and received no call this time either.

First to act, Lee moved all in once more, this time for 1.1 million with the {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Again no opponent called and Lee essentially tripled his stack within a few hands and without showdown.
