Le's Ladies Send One Home

We didn't catch the exact preflop action, however, it appeared that the player in the hijack seat opened and, directly behind him in the cutoff, Nam Le three-bet enough to put him all in. Everyone else folded and Le's opponent called all in for about 10,000 to put himself at risk.

Le: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{4-Spades} board kept Le in the lead - eliminating his opponent and chipping Le up to 31,000 in the process.
