Demlakian Dispatches Lee
Level 16
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Tolly Sekallariou opened from under the gun and was called by Thomas Lee on the button. Ken Demlakian came along in the small blind, with Jackson Young also making the call in the big blind.
Action checked around to Lee on the 5♣3♠4♦ flop, who fired 40,000. Demlakian called, while Young and Sekallariou got out of the way.
Both players checked the 10♠ turn, with action on Demlakian after the 8♠ river. Demlakian asked to see Lee's remaining stack and moved all in, putting his opponent to the test.
Lee took a couple of minutes before making the call. Demlakian announced flush and showed J♠6♠. Lee could only turn over 7♠7♦, ending his run while Demlakian raked in the pot.
