Lee Coolers Colavita in a Massive Pot
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Around 80,000 was in the pot as three players went to a flop of Q♣9♠3♠. Kevin Lee then bet 40,000 from early position and Wasim Assaf called on the button.
Mario Colavita then moved all in for 360,000 in the big blind and Lee reshoved. Assaf quickly folded K♦Q♦.
Mario Colavita: Q♠J♠ 
Kevin Lee: A♠2♠
Colavita was ahead with top pair, while both players had a flush draw. The 5♠ turn completed the flush, but Lee had the nut flush to leave Colavita drawing dead going to the 8♦ river as Lee collected the massive pot to send Colavita to the rail.
"He saved me," Assaf said.
