Lee Spikes an Ace to Double Up
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
With just 85,000 left behind, Jongwook Lee shoved from the small blind. Cheng Zhao didn't take long to make a call, and Lee was all in with his tournament life at risk.
Jongwook Lee: A♣Q♠
Cheng Zhao: K♠J♦
Lee remained in the ascendancy on the 6♦10♣7♥ flop.
But Zhao took the lead, as a J♣ came on the turn.
One card away from elimination, Lee saw an A♥ land on the river to steal the pot at the death and earn a much-needed double up.
