Rhee's Kicker Plays To Secure Double

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Hermann Lee raised the button to 25,000 and called a three-bet by Yo Seb Rhee in the big blind. Rhee got his last 209,000 in the middle of the table after a flop of {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Lee looked him up with the superior stack, but also inferior hand.

Yo Seb Rhee: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Hermann Lee: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

Once the {3-Spades} fell on the turn, Rhee jokingly asked for the {J-Spades} as last community card, knowing very well the needle of that scenario as he would improve to a flush and make Lee's two pair meaningless. "I don't want to see the jack," Lee replied with a smile on the face and he would do so, as a blank {8-Clubs} river changed nothing anymore.

Both Rhee and Lee were almost even in chips when all was done and dusted.
