Le Backdoors Her Way to a Straight
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Mason Vieth raised to 300,000 under the gun with A♥8♥ and Sophie Le flatted in the cutoff with J♣10♣.
The flop came 8♠6♠3♥, Vieth continued with a bet of 425,000 and Le called, bringing the 7♥ turn.
Vieth slowed down with a check and Le checked back. The river landed the 9♠, giving Le the straight and Vieth checked again.
Lee bet 600,000 and Vieth snap called only to see the bad news that his pair of eights were no good.
