Lee Spikes the River to Survive

Brett Slezak

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jamie Dwan opened to 5,000 from early position before Daehyung Lee three-bet to 15,000 from the hijack. In response, Dwan jammed as the covering stack and Lee used a time bank before he put in the call for 55,500.

Daehyung Lee: 6♥6♦ All in
Jamie Dwan: A♠A♥

Dwan was in great shape to score a knockout and it stayed that way on the 8♣5♥2♥ flop and the 9♥ turn. However, the dealer had other plans as the 6♣ peeled off on the river as Lee spiked a two-outer to survive.

Kyle Julius: 10♥10♣ All in
Samy Dubonnet: 9♠8♠

The 8♦7♥2♠ flop gave Julius a bit of a sweat as Dubonnet picked up a pair of eights, but the 2♣ turn and 7♠ river were safe as he raked in the double.
