Jin Hoon Lee limps from the button and Max Pinnola checked his option to bring out the 6♥7♥3♦ flop.

The turn brought the 4♠, giving two pair to Pinnola and taking away Lee's overcard outs. The 3♠ river completed the board, securing the pot for Pinnola and making him the chip leader in this heads up match.
