Lee Fades the Freeroll
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Kamel Mokhammad opened to 300,000 from the hijack. Both Ravi Shankar and Hokyiu Lee defended their blinds, and the three saw a flop of Q♣3♣J♦
Action checked to Mokhammad, who carried on with a bet of 450,000. Shankar called before Lee announced "pot," for a bet totalling 2,800,000. Mokhammad moved all in, and Shankar thought for a bit before folding. Lee made the call.
Hokyiu Lee: Q♠J♣9♥8♣7♠
Kamel Mokhammad: A♣Q♦J♠10♣4♦
"Oh f*ck," announced Lee upon seeing his opponent's cards. Both had queen-jack for two pair, but Mokhammad had the better flush draw. A few players told their rails about a freeroll taking place. No club or king showed its face, and the 3♠4♥ runout allowed the two to chop the pot.
