Thursday With Bernie

Bernard Lee, who finished 13th in the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event, opened to 4,700 from early position. A player in the blinds called and the flop fell {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Lee's opponent check-called a 6,100-chip bet, and the turn brought the {7-Hearts}. Both players checked.

The {8-Spades} completed the board, and the player in the blinds led for 12,700. Lee tank-called, and the player showed {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. Lee tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks, and is up over 200,000 chips.
