Doubling Through Doug

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Doug Lee raised to 5,500 from middle position and it folded around to the big blind who then reraised all in for 53,400 total. Lee sat for a half-minute looking as though he was about to pull the calling chips off his stack, then let his hand go.

On the very next hand, Lee raised again, this time to 5,300. It folded around to a different opponent in the big blind who again pushed all in, but only for 9,300. Lee called right away, tabling his {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. His opponent showed {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, and after the board ran out {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, the pot went to the short-stacked survivor.

Lee still sits with about 227,000 after those two hands.
