A Hero is Born
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Action was joined with roughly 1,500,000 in the pot, and a board showing 9♦3♣10♠2♣.
Victor Lee had moved all in, covering his opponent's stack, and action was on Timothy Shifflet, who was deliberating his options.
Shifflet decided his hand was good enough and made the call.
Timothy Shifflet: J♥9♠ 
Victor Lee: K♣J♣
Lee was caught putting the pressure on with a big combination draw, but Shifflet had sniffed it out and made the call with just second pair.
The river revealed the 8♠, and after a bit of an ordeal trying to count Shifflet's stack, the pot was organised and sent in the direction of Shifflet.
