Lee Doubles
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Denis Lee opened to 3,500 from early position before a player in two seats over opted to re-raise to 12,000. Lee put his remaining 8,600 stack to be at risk against his opponent.
Denis Lee: Q♣Q♥
Opponent: J♣J♦
Lee was well ahead, and the flop only furthered his lead as it came Q♠3♥K♥ to improve to a set.
The 10♠ turn did offer some drama as his opponent suddenly improved to a straight draw, but disaster was averted for Lee when the 2♥ river came to secure the double.
