Lee is the New Chip Leader
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Niall Campbell raised to 255,000 from middle position with only Steven Lee calling from the cutoff.
The dealer fanned out the flop of 5♦J♣A♥ and Campbell decided to check. Lee bet 250,000 and was met by a check-raise to 750,000 by Campbell. Lee called to see a turn.
Campbell shoved for Lee's remaining 1,750,000 on the 6♣ turn, and Lee called.
Steven Lee: A♦J♦ 
Niall Campbell; A♠5♠
A brutal flop saw both players flop two pair, but it was Lee who was ahead with top two pair, and just had to avoid a five on the river to become the chip leader of the Main Event.
