Bustlin' Bernard

"Yes! C'mon!" screamed Bernard Lee as he rose from his chair fist-pumping the air.

The board read {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{K-Spades}{A-Spades} and it was Lee's {7-Spades}{6-Spades} up against the {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} of his two opponent's.

With Lee scooping the pot with his backdoor flush to move to just shy of 16,000, he explained us the details of the hand.

With a raise to 150, five players saw the flop before a bet and a raise on the flop reduced the field to just four. The turn saw the flop two-bettor move all in for his last 2,000 with Lee making the call before the third player in the hand moved all in. Lee made the call, and when he binked the river, he was a very happy man!
