Lee Wins the Race
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Action folded to player in the small blind, who went all in for 30,300. Thomas Lee in the big quickly called to put the small blind at risk.
Small Blind: K♠J♠ 
Thomas Lee: 8♥8♦
Lee was ahead but would have to race to eliminate his opponent. The flop came 7♠J♥8♠ which gave Lee a set of eights, but the small blind flopped top pair and a flush draw. The J♦ on the turn improved Lee to a full house, but the small blind did have outs to a bigger full house. But when the Q♣ hit on the river, Lee's full house was still best, and he eliminated his opponent.
