Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Christopher Lee
Christopher Lee

Christopher Lee limped in with {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Lydia Waltonbaugh checked {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

Lee bet 100,000 on the {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop and Waltonbaugh called. On the {4-Clubs} turn, Lee bet 200,000 and called off his last 350,000 when Waltonbaugh jammed. Without an out in the deck, Lee just stood up and began to head out as the dealer finished out the board with a meaningless {2-Diamonds}.
