Lee Pulling Away
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Hun Wei Lee limped on the button holding 9♣7♥, and Joe Hachem tapped the table in the big blind with Q♦5♦. Both players declined to bet the 10♥9♦A♣ flop, and Lee checked again on the A♠ turn.
Hachem bet 500,000, with Lee calling to the 7♦ river. Another pair of checks led to showdown, where Lee tabled his two pair to claim the pot.
The next hand saw Hachem raise to 1,250,000 on the button and Lee come along in the big blind. The 2♥Q♣7♣ flop produced a pair of checks, and Lee led out for 1,000,000 on the 10♦ turn.
Hachem let his hand go, and Lee extended the lead a bit further.
