The under the gun player raised to 34,000 and Rick Lee re-raised to 90,000. It folded to Gil Gavish in the big blind and he moved all in for 55,000. The under the gun player called and they saw a flop of {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

The player checked and Lee tossed out a bet of 110,000. The under the gun player quickly folded and the hands were shown.

Rick Lee: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Gil Gavish: {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The turn brought the {10-Spades} and Gavish began to celebrate as he improved to top two pair. The {q-Clubs} hit the river and the table erupted as Lee spiked his straight on the river to send Gavish to the rail
