Phillip Lee shared the action with PokerNews after a sizeable hand took place.
The hand began with an open to 6,500. Phillip Lee responded with a re-raise to 26,500. His opponent was not satisfied with the price and chose to pop it to 95,000. Lee jammed for his tournament life, and his opponent called off to be at risk.
Opponent: A♠6♠
Phillip Lee: 10♥10♦
Lee needed to fade the ace, but the flop brought additional hazards as it came K♠Jx4♠ to give his opponent a flush draw.
The turn increased his opponent's outs as it came the Q♥ to give his opponent a straight draw.
Lee was spared from the upset when the 4x bricked the river to award Lee the pot.
