Lees Locks it Up on the Turn

Level 24 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Johan Lees
Johan Lees

Johan Lees' stack is again on the rise as he picked off an opponent's bluff and is now closing in on 3,000,000.

On a board of 45K10 there were around 700,000 chips in the pot when the small blind checked and Lees bet 255,000. After counting out his stack, the small blind shoved for around 850,000, and Lees eventually tossed in the call.

"I'm drawing dead" said the small blind before the cards were revealed.

Small Blind: J8 All in
Johan Lees: KQ

Indeed he was drawing dead and Lees was awarded the pot, bringing his stack to around 2,800,000.

Perkins Comes Up Short

Level 22 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Guy Perkins' stack had dwindled down to just a couple of big blinds and he got his chips into the middle.

Guy Perkins: Q4 All in
Opponent: AK

Perkins had live cards but was drawing slim after the 7A8 flop gave his opponent top pair. A 10 left him drawing dead on the turn, with a meaningless 9 filling out the board.
