He sat motionless for a bit and then four-bet to 650,000. Patgorski tanked for a bit then before asking how much Anderson had behind. The tournament staff helped to get a count on Anderson's stack and informed Patgorski, who then tanked for a little while longer.

Patgorski: 
Lee: 
"Good luck. Seriously, I mean that. Good luck," Lee said, walking across the stage to shake hands with his would-be knocker-out.
