Lee Gains More Ground
Level 21
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Kei Tanaka raised to 250,000 from the hijack with 7♠7♥ and was called by Andy Lee in the big blind holding K♥J♥.
Both players checked on the 4♦4♥J♦ flop and then Lee took over the initiative with a bet of 400,000 on the K♣ turn. Tanaka called.
The Q♥ completed the board and Lee put 1,150,000 into the middle. Tanaka counted out calling chips and tanked for a bit, but eventually decided to let his sevens go — conceding the pot to Lee.
