Lee Adds to the Lead

Josh Noy

Level 22 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action was three-ways to the 9♦4♥4♠ flop, with Ken Demlakian checking from the small blind and Chris Moussa doing the same in the hijack. Alex Lee bet 75,000 in the cutoff and Demlakian called.

Moussa then announced a check-raise to 250,000, with Lee calling and Demlakian getting out of the way.

The dealer flipped over the Q♣ turn and Moussa checked to Lee, who slid out a bet of 600,000. Moussa went into the tank for a few minutes, opting to fold as Lee added to his chip lead.
