Lee Survives as Turner Bluffs Into the Side Pot

Kai Cocklin

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sonny Lee had his stack of 7,000 in the middle from the big blind and had to beat three other players to survive.

On the 4♠9♦8♥ flop, all three active players checked to the J♥ turn, where it checked to Jeremie Bilodeau, who bet 10,000. Jon Turner called on the button, and Kyle Babcock folded from the small blind.

A 10♦ completed the board and after Bilodeau checked, Turner fired 20,000. Bilodeau quickly folded.

"You're welcome," said Turner to Lee. "You're still here," he added before he flipped over 6♥5♥ for just six-high. Lee then turned over K♦6♦ for king-high to take the pot.

On the turn 8♥, Wong checked a second time over to Alley and he bet 75,000 to see Wong call.

Both players checked the river 10♥ and Wong tabled A♣Q♣ for queens up with an ace. It was second best against Alley's K♥K♠ for kings up and he took down a sizable pot off of the WSOP bracelet winner.

Karim Lehoussine: 7♦7♠ All in
Darren Elias: K♠K♥

Lehoussine was in rough shape against Elias’ pocket kings, but the board ran out 8♠10♠6♥5♥9♠, giving him a miracle straight and a much-needed double-up.
