Lee's Red Rockets

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante
Bernard Lee
Bernard Lee

In late position, Bernard Lee opened the pot to 750, and the table folded to the small blind. The gentleman there put out 1,400 chips, then started pulling some of them back, apparently trying to make change for a call. Lee called the floor, and it was ruled a raise. The small blind let a look of deep frustration cross his face, and Lee promptly stuck another 6,000 chips in the pot on a four-bet. His opponent five-bet shoved for about his starting stack, and Lee made the quick call to put him to the test.

Showdown
Lee: {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}
Opponent: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}

Oops.

The {4-Clubs} {J-Spades} {A-Spades} flop was money in the bank for Lee, and the turn {8-Hearts} ended any potential runner-runner drama right there. Lee earns the knockout, pushing his stack up to a healthy 68,000 in the process.

More For Lee

On a {J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, action was checked to Bernard Lee and he bet 1,025. His lone opponent called to see the {4-Spades} turn and checked once again. Lee bet 1,650 and his opponent tagged along. When the {7-Spades} hit the river, Lee's opponent bet 2,200 and was quickly met by a call from Lee.

Lee's opponent showed {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, second best to Lee's {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

Try, Tryba Again

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Chris Tryba

The space formerly occupied by Chris Tryba is now vacant of both he and his chips. A quick glance around the room turned up nothing, and the missing-in-action Tryba is presumed busto.

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

We've reached the end of another three levels, and it's time for a break. We'll be back in 10 minutes.

Level: 7

Blinds: 200/400

Ante: 50

Busse Station

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante
Shawn Busse
Shawn Busse

Under the gun, Shawn Busse limped in, and the player in the cutoff seat followed suit. Both blinds came along as well, and it was a cheap four-way flop.

The dealer spread out {8-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}, and action checked around to the cutoff. He flicked out a bet of 1,000, and this time only Busse came along with the call. That led them heads-up to the {9-Diamonds} turn, and Busse check-called another 2,000 to see the {7-Diamonds} fill out the board on fifth street. When Busse checked one last time, his opponent took his cue to bet 7,000 more chips. The call represented half of Busse's remaining stack, and he spent about two minutes considering before splashing the checks into the pot.

"Straight flush," came the call from his opponent as his {5-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} hit the felt. The table reacted with awe -- all except Shawn Busse who quietly mucked and broke down his remaining 7,050 chips with just a hint of a scowl on his face.
