Aces For Lee
Darlene Lee's tournament has been extremely interesting to follow as she's one of the few remaining ladies in the field. On Day 3 Lee lost a huge pot with an ace-high flush against a straight flush, and then she lost aces to ace-king, but still managed to keep a good stack. Just now Lee's aces held up and we saw her climb back up to around the million-chip mark.
After unknown action Lee ended up moving all in while Pierre Canali had put in a big raise to 220,000. At this point Geoffrey Rasmussen was already all in, and when Canali folded the showdown was heads up.

and Lee's ace held up to knock Rasmussen out. Canali was left with little chips and he's going to look to rebuild his stack after taking a big hit.
