Jimmy Lee Skyrockets Towards the Top
Kevin Schulz raised to 180,000 and the player in the hijack called. Jimmy Lee was in the small blind and three-bet to 530,000. Schulz thought for a moment and put in a four-bet to 1,800,000. The hijack quickly got out of the way, and the action was back on Lee. He thought for a minute before looking back at his cards, and eventually called.
The dealer fanned a flop reading 
and Lee promptly checked. Schulz fired out a bet of 1,300,000. Lee thought for a moment and check-raised all in for 4,570,000. Schulz called.
Lee tabled 
while Schulz showed 
for a classic cooler among the big stacks at the table. Another player at the table said, "Again? Same aces for the same player", clearly indicating that Lee got them in a similar spot earlier.
The turn was the 
and the river was the 
, giving Lee a massive double up to propel him towards the top of the counts.
