Two Pair Takes it For Lee; Gardner Out
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Chien-Hui Chiang opened to 110,000 from the cutoff and was called by Thomas Lee on the button and Ben Gardner in the big blind.
Gardner checked to Chiang, who continued for 150,000 on the 4♥7♦5♥ flop. Lee called, but Gardner folded.
Both players then checked down on the A♦ turn and Q♦ river and Chiang tabled Q♠7♠ for a rivered two pair.
Lee couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Chiang.
Gardner had been holding a short stack and was eliminated shortly after the hand took place.
