Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sebastian Crane opened to 12,000 in middle position and had one sole caller - Sean Lee in the big blind.
Lee checked the flop 9♠4♠A♣ prompting Crane to continue with a 20,000 bet. Lee called.
The 5♥ dropped and Lee checked again. Crane fired a hefty 66,000. When Lee calmly called, Crane did an eye-roll and looked visibly perplexed, looking at Lee with a questioning look.
Finally, the 10♦ fell on the river and after the third check from Lee, Crane jammed 90,000 to the middle of the table leaving one 1,000 chip behind and sending Lee to the tank.
Lee was deep in thought, looking like he'd call by separating the 90,000, then putting it back. After doing this about three times, he shook his head and threw his cards to the muck pile.
Crane claimed that he had ace-seven and was praying that no more spades came out. Lee replied, "Ace-seven is good."

Guan Huang opened to 18,000 from the cutoff, with Sean Lee making the call in the big blind.
Lee checked the 3♣7♦10♥ flop, with Huang slowing down and checking back. Another pair of checks followed the 6♠ turn.
The 10♠ river produced one last check from Lee, with Huang taking some time before tapping the table.
"Jack-high," said Huang as he flashed the J♣. Lee showed K♥Q♦, good enough to claim the pot and Huang mucked his second card.
