Hayes Sends Lee to the Rail
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Rutherford Hayes opened from the hijack before Garrett Lee went all-in for approximately 62,000 from the small blind. Hayes called to put Lee at risk for his tournament life.
Garrett Lee: A♣Q♥
Rutherford Hayes: 10♠10♥
Hayes held the lead when they got the chips in, but Lee had the overcards to improve to the best hand.
The 5♥9♥8♦ flop kept Hayes in the lead.
The J♥ made it so the players swapped some of their cards for outs, as Lee now needed a ten or an ace to stay alive.
Instead, the Q♦ came on the river to give Hayes a straight and eliminate Lee from Day 1b.
