Lee Takes It on the Flop
Jun Wah Yap raised to 20,000 and Wai Kiat Lee three-bet to 60,000 from the very next seat. Both Malaysians had been very jovial already and cracked up the table with their banter. Lee was seemingly trying to get Yap to fold and then joked "no ace no ace" once he was called.
