Lee Succumbs to Pressure
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Charles Lee opened to 40,000 in hijack and got a 110,000 three-bet from Kohei Arai on the button. Lee called to see a flop.
The dealer unfurled 6♠7♠4♣. Lee check-called Arai's bet of 110,000 again. After action was passed a second time, Arai fired 250,000 keeping the pressure high.
The high pressure put Lee in a difficult situation. He was visibly struggling to make a decision, especially since he only had around 450,000 behind. Frustrated he threw his hand in the muck pile.
Arai claimed that he had pocket tens as he added the pot to his significant stack.
