Bernard Lee Eliminated in 4th Place ($37,965)

4th Place - Bernard Lee
4th Place - Bernard Lee
A short-stacked Bernard Lee moved all in from under the gun for his remaining 110,000. Michael Martin took a while before finally calling. The players showed:

Lee: {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Martin: {A-Spades}{5-Spades}

The flop came {K-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} which was no help to Lee. He would need to pair one of his cards to stay alive. The turn was a blank for Lee as well, coming the {K-Diamonds}. There was no miracle river for Lee as the dealer threw down the {3-Spades} on fifth street. Michael Martin took the pot and now has 455,000 while Bernard Lee is out in fourth place with $37,965 to show for it.
