Aces No Good For Lee

RazorSharpPro

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Statistically, pocket Aces should hold up two out of three times, though that trend is being bucked in Taiwan today, with the pocket rocket's third appearance so far today resulting in failure for Kun Han Lee.

It was Ling He the man to show Lee the door, opening from under-the-gun for 23,000. Lee was short and moved all-in from one seat over for 95,000 in total and the action folded back around to He who had a decision to make. Being as it was not all that much more, He shrugged and stuck in the call, showing , which was trailing to Lee's .

However, the flop was a pretty decent one for He, and while he missed the turn, the river gave him the straight flush and sent Lee crashing out of the tournament in 24th place for a TWD 65,300 payday.
