: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Bouwe Claushuis in late position opened for 210,000 and Hokyiu Lee in the small blind three-bet to 690,000. After Claushuis asked how much Lee had behind, he made the call.
The flop came 7♠9♦K♥. Lee pushed 615,000 leaving behind a 5,000 chip. Claushuis announced all-in for almost 3,000,000. Lee threw his last chip in for a call, taking them to showdown.
Hokyiu Lee: A♦A♣K♠2♥2♦
Bouwe Claushuis: A♥Q♣10♣9♥5♦
Claushuis hit a pair on the flop with a chance to improve to a straight while Lee had pocket aces.
The dealer peeled the 2♠ turn which strengthened Lee's lead with a set of two, evoking a groan of frustration from Claushuis.
The dealer completed the board with a 6♣ then pushed the pot towards Lee for a double up.
