Hirs Ousted by Lee

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With roughly 140,000 in the middle on a A109 flop, Jin Hoon Lee had a bet over the line in the hijack, and Aliaksandr Hirs was deliberating in the big blind with an impending pay jump.

Time was called at the table, and as the tournament director neared his count to zero, Hirs put in his remaining stack of about 20,000.

Aliaksandr Hirs: 93
Jin Hoon Lee: QJ

The 10 turn kept Hirs ahead, but the K spiked the river and Lee claimed the pot as he continues his journey to win another bracelet this series.
