Doug Lee: Smallest Chipstack Ever
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 2
: 50/100, 0 ante
Well, there's the early fireworks.
When we walked up to the action, there was turned board reading 
out on board, and Richard Yellend knocked the table from the small blind. A couple seats over, Steve Nixon fired out a bet of 3,200, and Doug lee flat-called for about a third of his remaining chips. When it came back to Yellend, however, he raised it up to 8,700, and Nixon tanked and called. Lee moved in for his small stack of 9,000 total, Yellend re-shoved (possibly incorrectly, according to the betting rules), and Nixon made the call. Just like that, about 45,000 chips were piled in the middle of the table, and both Nixon and Lee were at risk.
Showdown
Yellend: 
(nut flush)
Nixon: 
(trips)
Lee: 
(queens full)
As the table collectively gasped at the big hands shown down, Lee mentioned the words, "Drawing dead."
Well, you know that that means.
Like a bolt of one-out lightning, the 
ripped off the deck and landed on the river, giving Nixon the unlikely quads and the double knockout. Lee and Yellend both stayed at the table for a minute, staring down at the dramatic board that had sealed both of their fates.
They're both outta here, while Nixon takes the early lead with just about 50,000 in front of him.
