Double Up for Lee
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A player from early position made it 16,000 to go before Denis Lee responded with a three-bet to 60,000 from the hijack. His opponent went all-in and was called by Lee, who put himself at risk for 112,000.
Denis Lee: Q♠Q♥
Opponent: 7♠7♥
Lee was in a prime position to double up and needed to avoid any pitfalls with five cards to go.
The 4♥10♦3♣ flop gave his opponent little to work with, as it was safe for Lee.
Lee stayed ahead on the 3♥ turn and the 2♥ river as he scored the double up to stay in the mix on Day 1a.
