Lee Flush With Chips
Korea's Jeho Lee boasts some pretty good results in Macau, boasting over US$230,000 in live tournament winnings, all won at the poker tables of the former Portuguese enclave. Lee's largest ever career cash and first title also came right here at the Venetian Macau Hotel & Resort with the Korean player taking down the 2017 Suncity Cup Main Event for an HKD 1,605,472 ($205,527) payday back in November 2017.
Every time we walk past his table Lee is making a spirited attempt to repeat that feat and is raking in a pot, with the following hand no exception. Lee had barely finished stacking up chips from winning the previous hand when we arrived, just in time to see him take down a decent-sized pot from tablemate Zedao Ma to hit the six-figure stack mark.
It was Ma who was the pre-flop raiser, making it 1,200 from middle position. Lee asked Ma how much he was playing (close to 37,000) before choosing to see a flop from the small blind, with the big blind coming along for the ride as well.

flop saw Lee lead for 2,500, which was enough to deter the big blin, but not Ma, who made the call. Lee led again on the
turn, and was once more looked up by Ma to keep the pair in action to the
river.
The Korean fired a 6,500 third barrel, with Ma making the call once more. Lee turned over ![]()
for the flopped baby flush and Ma shook his head sadly before throwing his hand away and leaving Lee to pull in the pot and climb up to 100,000 while Ma dropped to 24,000.
