Lee's Luck Runs Out
Action started with the hijack who opened to 4,000 and Scott Stewart three-bet to 13,000 on the button. Andy Lee was in the big blind and four-bet to 33,000. The hijack folded and Steward four-bet all in, covering Lee's 160,000 stack.
It wasn't long before Lee's chips were committed, and the players flipped their hands.
Andy Lee: K♥K♦
Scott Stewart: J♥J♦
Lee just needed to hold to stay alive, but Stewart into the lead on the 7♣J♠A♣ flop.
Lee was looking for a lifeline, but there was no help from the 7♥ turn or 7♠ river.
It was the end of the road for Andy Lee, and his hunt for the double title at the 2026 Aussie Millions was put on hold here in the Main Event. Lee has already had a successful series here at the Crown Casino in Melbourne as was crowned the $25,000 Challenge champion, just a few days ago.
