David Lee and Eric Assadourian have traded places in the counts. Lee opened the pot for 16,000 from the button, only to see Assadourian move all in from the small blind for a total of 42,000. Lee started the hand with only 75,000 chips, so it was not an insignificant decision for him when the big blind folded. He elected to call with {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs} and found himself up against Assadourian's {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}. Lee was drawing dead by the turn after failing to connect with a board of {5-Clubs} {3-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. The river {3-Diamonds} fell, sending the pot to Assadourian.

Assadourian's double leaves him slightly less short than he was, at 94,000 chips. Lee is now the shortest stack in the tournament, with just 33,000.
