Lee's Snowmen Take Down the Aces of Busquet

Level 21 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The turned board read {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and there was around 440,000 in the pot. Sungwon Lee checked to Olivier Busquet, he bet 175,000 and Lee check-rasied all in for 440,000.

Busquet called, tabling {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for an overpair of aces but was behind when Lee turned over {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}, giving him a set. The {3-Clubs} rivered did not change a thing and Lee pulled in a complete double with his set.
