An Unfortunate Turn

Just before the break, Bernard Lee was involved in a big heads-up confrontation. On a flop of {2-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {3-Clubs}, Lee checked, then raised when his opponent bet 1,200. Lee made it 3,700 to go, his opponent moved all in, and Lee snap-called.

Showdown
Lee: {2-Spades} {2-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}

Lee had flopped the baby set to temporarily crack aces. To his disgust though, the {A-Hearts} spiked the turn to leave him dead to the case deuce. The {J-Spades} on the river was not a decue, and Lee has been stripped of a big chunk of chips. He's back to 8,200.
