Lee Wins Monster Pot with Nut Flush
With 3,400 in the pot and four players still in action, the flop came down . Jimmy Lee checked from the small blind, the players in the big and early position did the same, and finally the player on the button put in a bet of 1,500.
All three of his opponents check-called the bet before the dealer burned and turned the . Two checks saw the early-position player bet 3,200 and only Lee called to see the river.
Lee opted to lead out for 5,500 and his opponent raised it to 15,000. Lee looked back at his cards before three-betting to 30,500 and the early-position player paused for a few beats before moving all in for 86,200 total. Lee, who had 83,900, seemed surprised, double-checked his cards one last time, and slid in his stack.

Both players held a flush but Lee's was the nuts to give him the early double.
