Lee Finds a Double
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Hon Cheong Lee open-jammed for 1,350,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Miguel Cardoso in the big blind. He pondered for a while, asking to see stacks of other players at the table, before eventually putting in the calling chips to put Lee at risk.
Hon Cheong Lee: K♣10♥
Miguel Cardoso: J♥9♣
Lee paired his king on K♠5♠A♠, but the Q♦ turn saw a gutshot straight draw appear for Cardoso. However, the 5♣ river blanked and Lee secured his double-up, while Cardoso was left with just over four big blinds.
