Hubbard Dispatches of Le
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Michael "Hub" Hubbard opened from early position before Lam Le shoved for approximately 350,000. Hubbard called and had Le covered, as Le was at risk for his tournament life.
Lam Le: Q♣Q♠
Michael Hubbard: A♦K♠
Le and Hubbard were in a classic flip, as Le held the slight edge as they went to a runout.
The 10♥A♣4♠ flop pulled Hubbard well ahead after he paired his ace.
Hubbard would improve to two pair on the K♥ turn, but Le gained some outs to a straight as they went to the river.
Le was unable to find his card when the 4♣ hit the river to be eliminated.
