Brandon Lee Misses Twice in a Row

Limit Hold'em:

Brandon Lee has slid down and out of the chip counts in a matter of just two hands. Lee had 38,000 chips at the break, but he got involved with Jan von Halle moments ago and lost most of it.

After a series of raises and reraises, von Halle was all in with {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} against Lee's {A-Clubs} {J-Spades}. The board ran {7-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {10-Hearts} {7-Spades} to knock Lee down to 13,000.

On the very next hand, he and Quyen Nguyen got in a similar preflop raising battle, this time resulting in Lee being all in. He showed down {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts} and was in bad shape versus Nguyen's {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}. The {7-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} board again missed Lee, and he is busto.
