Lees Doubles to Take the Chip Lead
Level 31
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Daniel Neilson raised to 800,000 on the button and Johan Lees called from the big blind.
The flop came down 8♣4♥2♠ and Lees check-called a bet of 1,500,000 from Neilson to see the 10♠ land on the turn. Lees checked again, then Neilson fired 4,000,000. Lees shoved 14,000,000, and Neilson called.
Johan Lees: 8♥2♦
Daniel Neilson: Q♥10♥
Lees had flopped two pair and found the perfect turn to get the chips in. Neilson had outs to clinch the title, but couldn't find any as the Lees boated up when the 2♥ hit the river.
Wow!
