Denver Doubles

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Denver Lee managed to win his way into the ANZPT Queenstown Snowfest Main Event through a satellite ran here at the SKYCITY Queenstown Casino. Lee didn't have a great start to the day, seeing his stack fall well under 10,000 in chips. However, that has all changed recently, thanks to the following hand.

With a raise and three callers in front of him, a short-stacked Denver Lee moved all in from the small blind with the initial raiser, Campbell Melville, the only one to make the call.

Lee opened {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and was racing against the {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} of Melville with tournament life on the line. The flop was a dry {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, and the {7-Clubs} turn card changed nothing. But the river was the {a-Diamonds} as the ace from space landed to keep the satellite winner’s tournament alive with a nice double up. Lee now has a stack of around 17,000.
