Lee Spikes Flush
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Phillip Lee opened to 1,800 from early position, which garnered calls from a player in middle position and the hijack before the cutoff opted to re-raise to 6,300. All three players called the re-raise to create a four-handed pot.
Players knuckled the A♥Q♥9♣ flop to bring the 7♥ turn. Lee checked before the middle position bet 16,000. The hijack and cutoff folded, but Lee opted to go all-in and put the middle position at risk.
His opponent called to be at risk.
Opponent: A♠7♣
Phillip Lee: J♥J♠
Lee needed a heart or a jack to overcome the two pair of his opponent, and help came when the 3♥ river came to upgrade Lee to a flush and sink his opponent.
