Lee Triples up After "Fun Sweat"
Chang Lee was already all in for his last 113,000 preflop from the big blind against Cary Katz in middle position and Paulius Vaitiekunas on the button, who both had Lee covered.
"This would be a good one to hit," Katz said before the 5♠6♠10♠ flop was dealt. Both players then checked.
The 6♥ fell on the turn and Katz moved all in, which got a quick fold from Vaitiekunas to set up a showdown between Katz and Lee.
Chang Lee: 9♠9♦
Cary Katz: K♣10♣
Katz was ahead with his ten, but would need to fade a nine or spade to eliminate Lee.
"This is a fun sweat," Katz said.
The dealer brought the K♠ on the river, giving Katz top two pair but also improving Lee to a winning flush for the triple-up as he erupted into celebration.
"Good job, nice hand," Katz said as he offered Lee a handshake. "You wanted it more, you deserve it."
