Dave Lee Eliminated; Three Live Players Remain

There will be at least one online vs online match-up in the final eight, with the possibility yet of all eight players being from the online team.

The latest live player to bite the dust was Dave Lee. Lee held a 1-0 advantage early in his match against Rayan Nathan, but Nathan made the comeback to win 2-1.

In the final hand of the match Lee moved all in on the {A-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop over a raise from Nathan.

Nathan snap called, stating "Flush Draw" as he turned over his {9-Spades}{j-Spades}. Lee's {K-Clubs}{k-Hearts} would need to dodge those outs, but they failed to do so with a {6-Spades} hitting the turn. The {8-Diamonds} bricked the river.

Lee's elimination leaves three live players left in the Heads Up tournament.
