Scheidegger raised to 400 from the small blind. In the big blind, Lee three-bet to 1,100. Looking to play for more, Scheidegger four-bet to 3,100. Lee wasn't done, though, as he five-bet to 10,000, a third of his stack.

Scheidegger looked pained. Lee glanced back at his hand during the tank. Scheidegger thought for a while before releasing his cards.

Lee was kind enough to show the to ease the mind of his opponent.

"Ace-queen," said Scheidegger, a big hand three-handed, but not enough to play back against the five-bet.
