Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Andy Lee opened to 200,000 from the hijack with A♦K♣ and was called by Michael Egan in the big blind holding 6♠6♦.

Egan check-called a 200,000 bet from Lee on the 3♥Q♠2♦ flop and then both players checked down on the 5♦10♠ turn and river.

Egan revealed his small pair and was awarded the pot, sending his stack to 7,600,000 and surpassing Kei Tanaka, who has 7,300,000.
