Calvin Lee Eliminated in 2nd Place ($200,000)
Level 18
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Calvin Lee limped in with the J♠7♦ and Stephen Song checked his option in the big blind with the 10♥4♣. On the J♣10♠4♥ flop, Song check-called for 50,000 with his bottom two pair and the 6♠ followed on the turn.
Another check by Song saw Lee check his cards and bet 175,000 only to face a check-raise to massive 800,000 for around one third of Lee's stack. The reluctant call by Lee created a pot of more than 1.8 million to the 5♣ river and Lee had fewer than that behind.
Song moved all-in and Lee called it off to get shown the bad news as he had to settle for $200,000. The extra $10,000 to the winner went to Song, who also collected the largest tally of $204,000 and second trophy in three days. A recap of today's action is to follow.
