Lee Takes from Spano

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Robert Spano flat-called a raise by Alex Lee and then check-raised the {3-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop to 35,000. Lee called and Spano continued to check-call two streets worth of bets on the {K-Diamonds} turn for 38,000 and the {2-Diamonds} river for 67,000. Lee showed the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} and scooped the big pot.

Samantha Abernathy had been mostly tight so far, not letting any of the crazy action get to her, and lost a few chips compared to what she started with.
