Unfortunately for Lee, the board left Hughes with a pair of jacks and Lee was eliminated.
Victoria Coren opened the action with a raise to 45,000 from the hijack. Randy Ashe called from the cutoff and Lanny Levine tagged along from the small blind as well.
The flop was and Levine quickly tapped the table. Coren continued out with a bet of 150,000. Ashe thought for a moment before dropping 300,000 into the center and Levine got out of the way.
"Wow," Coren muttered. "Really?" About thirty seconds passed before Coren said "I guess I'm all in."
