Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a flop of 5♥10♦9♣ Steven Lee bet 10,000 from the blinds and Kyle Rafferty called from under the gun.

The 2♠ hit the turn and Lee shoved for Rafferty's remaining 40,000. Rafferty thought it over for a while, before ultimately making the call.

Kyle Rafferty : K♦10♣ All in
Steven Lee : J♦J♥

Lee's jacks were ahead of the top pair of Rafferty and he just had to fade a king or ten on the river. The 6♦ fell on the river and Lee sent Rafferty to the rail.

It was a classic flip, but the 10♦6♥4♦ flop put Campbell in pole position, having spiked a ten. The A♦ turn improved Campbell to two pair as the 3♣ hit the river and Gludkinas headed for the exit.
