Lee Gets Yu to Lay Down Aces
Level 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Calvin Lee opened to 60,000 with the A♠K♦ and Lei Yu used a time bank with the A♥A♣ on the button off a stack of 440,000 before he just flat-called prior to the K♣7♠5♥ flop, on which Lee glanced at the tournament info screen and his opponent.
Lee bet 55,000 with his top pair and top kicker, Yu called. The 6♦ followed on the turn and both players checked to the 8♦ on the river. Lee gave it some consideration and then moved all-in with the covering stack against Yu, who had just 325,000 behind - eleven big blinds.
The reluctant fold by Yu followed and Lee won the pot thanks to his heavy river shove.
