When we arrived at Table 16, Stephen Lacey and Nathan Lee were heads up on a board of . Lee moved all in for 60,000 or so, which appeared to be a pot-sized bet, and Lacey snapped it off.
Upset, Lee lifted his hand to muck it, revealing the . Lacey ripped over for a full house, and Lee released his hand into the muck. He then left the table abruptly, and the pot was pushed to Lacey.
"Can we see his hand?" Peter Jetten asked the dealer.
The dealer did not answer.
