Kee Survives the Sweat
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
While the rest of the room scattered for break, Hai Kee and Shayne Sim stuck around for a break from the norm—getting their stacks in the middle with Kee’s tournament life hanging in the balance.
Hai Kee: Q♣Q♦
Shayne Sim: A♣J♣
Kee went deep into the tank before calling off his 700,000, and it looked like a slam-dunk decision when the 10♣4♦J♦ flop kept his queens ahead. But with Sim picking up extra outs, the 8♣ on the turn turned up the sweat—giving him a flush draw to go with top pair.
With a small rail watching on, everybody watched the 10♥ brick off on the river, and Kee let out a roar that echoed across the room:
“No gamble, no futureeeeeee!”
The queens held, Kee doubled, and the energy? Absolutely electric.
