Hand #168 - David Lee

David Lee has the button in Seat 4.

Lee pauses with action on him before he grabs some chips and makes a raise to 225,000. Everyone folds and he rakes in the blinds and antes.

Hand #169 - Kenneth Damm

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

David Lee raises under the gun, making it 225,000 for the second hand in a row. Kenneth Damm considers deeply before calling from the small blind, and Ray Sukkar ducks out from the big.

Heads up then, the flop shows up {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds}. Damm checks, and Lee checks behind.

The turn comes the {4-Spades}. Damm announces, "All in," and Lee double-checks his cards before folding.

Hand #173 -

Nali Kaselias has the button in Seat 5.

Kenneth Damm raises to 190,000 from the small blind, and Ray Sukkar quickly moves all in from the big blind for a little more than one million chips. Before he can even release the chips into the pot, Damm is right there with him, in an emphatic, "I call!"

Showdown:
Damm: {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Sukkar: {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs}

The board runs out sour for Sukkar, coming {2-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {2-Spades} {5-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}. Finding no help from the community cards, Ray Sukkar is knocked out in 4th place, taking home $49,200 AUD.

Kenneth Damm is on an absolute tear through this final table, and he is now the overwhelming chip leader with about 4,800,000!

Lee With Nothing To Lose

After the elimination of Ray Sukkar in 4th place, David Lee capped his hands in delight and headed over to his friends on the rail.

"You've got nothing to lose now mate" shouted one of them from the rail.

"I had nothing to lose at the start of the day!" replied Lee.

Lee knows what it takes to win a trophy at the Crown Casino after winning the $1,000 Turbo Event at this year's Aussie Millions worth AU$70,000. Lee has his work cut out for him though, as he enters the three-handed battle with the short stack.

There is a dead button in seat 9.

Kenneth Damm raises to 250,000 and then David Lee announces "All in!" Damm asks for a quick estimation and then folds after Lee tells him he has at least one million.
