Bernard Bounced

We missed the hand that knocked Bernard Lee out of this Main Event, but he was kind enough to fill us in before he left.

Lee tells us that an aggressive young player opened to 3,500 on the button before he looked down at pocket nines in the big blind. The pro made a big three-bet to 11,100, but his opponent shoved right back over the top. Lee had about 40,000 chips left, and he snap-called with his nines. Mr. Opponent was flipping for the knockout with {K-} {Q-} and another queen on the flop has sent Lee to the rail here in the early afternoon.
