Tensions are High Early
Level 21
: 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante
Richard Lee opened to 50,000 in the cutoff and Keith Lehr stuck in a three-bet to 165,000 on the button. Hye Park was in the big blind and took a couple of minutes before sliding out a four-bet to 425,000.
The action was back on Lee who was thinking for a little over a minute before Lehr called the clock. Tristan Wade tried to step in the middle and offer Lee some time to think but Lehr held firm that he wanted the clock called.
With the clock started, Lee opted to fold and Lehr quickly mucked his hand as well. "I'm going to keep calling the clock if hands take this long," Lehr pointed out.
