Lee Gets Sick to Get Healthy

Preflop, Bernard Lee called an all-in bet from an opponent in the two seat. Lee held {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} and his opponent flipped over {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}.

The flop turned disaster into triumph for Lee when it came {7-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {K-Clubs}. The turn of the {9-Hearts} and river of the {4-Spades} failed to bring a miracle ace and Lee won with the set of kings.

After the hand, when referring to kings running into aces, Lee said, "So sick. Do you know how many times this has happened in the past few months?"

This time it worked out for him, and Lee is up to 50,000 chips.
