BrandonTemple

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jeffrey Lehouillier had 80,000 in front of him on the button, and was contemplating calling a shove from Richard Bai for 229,000 in middle position with a board on the felt. Lehouillier elected to call after a short stint in the tank, leaving himself just 6,000 behind, and the hands were tabled.

Richard Bai:
Jeffrey Lehouillier:

Bai's set of queens faded an ace on the river, and he collected the big double up, while Lehouillier busted a short time later.
