Lee Survives, Tan Claims the Side
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Joseph Brumpacheco opened the action under the gun with a raise to 190,000. Ricky Lee, short-stacked in middle position, moved all in for his last 135,000. Action folded around to Shuaiyan Tan in the big blind, who made the call, and a three-way pot developed.
Brumpacheco and Tan both checked down the 5♥5♦9♥ flop, the 2♦ turn, and the 5♣ river, taking things to showdown.
Lee turned over 8♠8♦ for a full house, fives full of eights, enough to lock up the main pot and stay alive.
Brumpacheco revealed A♥Q♠ for ace high and a shot for the side pot, but Tan tabled A♦2♥, her full house fives full of deuces, earning her the 210,000 side pot.
