After a flurry of preflop raises, Yongjae Lee was left with only 8,000 chips behind. Ni Hansen put him all in before the dealer had the chance to table the flop, and Lee made the call, sending the cards on their backs.
Yongjae Lee: A♣K♠
Ni Hansen: Q♦Q♥
The flop came 10♣5♠8♣, keeping Hansen's queens in front. The Q♣ turn improved Hansen to a set, but it also gave Lee additional outs for a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw. One player at the table even commented, "That's a good card for you."
However, Lee's hopes were short-lived. The 10♠ river paired the board, giving Hansen a full house and ending Lee's tournament run.
