Lee Eliminates Suchanek in Huge Pot

MrCleverFox

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jan Suchanek opened from the hijack seat with a raise to 1,200. Next to act, Morten Mortensen called. Andy Lee was in the small blind and he three-bet to 5,400. Action folded back to Suchanek who called and Mortensen called as well.

All three players checked on the flop to see the hit the turn. There, Lee checked for a second time and Suchanek jammed all in for right around 40,000. Mortensen quickly got away but Lee dropped into the tank. He thought it over for nearly two minutes before he finally settled on a call.

Andy Lee:
Jan Suchanek:

Lee was out in front with his queens and had made a stellar call, but Suchanek wasn't dead yet. He still had outs to a straight. The river was the though and with that brick for Suchanek, Lee would take down the massive pot, allowing him to nearly double up to around 120,000 chips.
