Lee Finds Needed Double
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ricky Lee put in his final 5,000 even from early position as his tournament life was waning. Lee got action from Taro Miura, who isolated from the small blind after it was folded to him with a raise to 13,000, and shedded the big blind in the process.
Ricky Lee: A♠8♥
Taro Miura: Q♣6♣
Lee stayed ahead after the 7♠J♥5♠ flop, but the 4♦ turn gave Miura an open-ended straight draw. The 6♥ river, however, gave Lee the eight-high straight to double.
