Lee Holds to Score Elimination
A player from under-the-gun raised to 2,000 before Matt Lee made the call from early position. The big blind came along to create a three-handed pot as they took a flop.
The A♠9♦5♦ flop led to a check from the big blind before the under-the-gun player continued for 2,500. Lee responded with a raise to 7,500, which folded out the big blind. The original raiser made the call.
The 4♥ peeled on the turn before the under-the-gun player checked. Lee kept up the pressure and bet 12,500. His opponent opted to check-raise all-in, and Lee snap-called to put his opponent at risk.
Opponent: A♦3♦
Matt Lee: 9♣9♠
Lee was ahead with a set of nines, but his opponent had outs to a flush.
The J♠ was not one of those flush outs as Lee scored the elimination as his stack crossed the six-figure mark.
