Kiat Lee Seizes Lead

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Wai Kiat Lee
Wai Kiat Lee

It’s a totally different Lee we are concerned with in this particular hand, Wai Kiat Lee, whose stack is moving in a different direction to his fellow countryman Chin Yong Lee.

It was China’s Dong Luo who was the initial aggressor, making it 8,000 to go from middle position and the action folded around to Wai Kiat Lee on the button. We have already witnessed the fact that Lee likes to play his position aggressively in the hand against Johnny Chan earlier and the Malaysian player did not disappoint, bumping it up to 28,000.

After a little time thinking it over Luo counted out the call and it was heads-up to a flop of {3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. Luo checked this over to Lee, who counted out another bet of 28,000 and dropped in down in the center of the table.

Luo reached for his big chips and counted out a sizable stack, sliding out a check–raise of 70,000 in total and Lee thought it over for around a minute or so before announcing the call. This was already shaping up to be one of the bigger pots seen so far today and the {9-Clubs} turn saw it get a whole lot bigger.

Luo had a stack of 168,000 left in front of him and after maybe 2-3 minutes of thinking things over he bet out 113,000 of his remaining chips, leaving himself 55,00 behind.

Lee quickly pulled the trigger, announcing all in almost as soon as Luo’s chips had crossed the line and it was time for Luo to pay another lengthy visit to the think tank. The fact Luo did not call immediately could only be a good sign for Lee, who could smell the blood in the water. After several more minutes Luo forlornly slid his hand face down into the muck and Lee raked in the massive pot to climb to 605,000 and take the chip lead.
