Lehr Makes Big Call on the River, Eclipses Two Million
Level 12
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Keith Lehr raised to 40,000 from under the gun and was called by Alexandre Vuilleumier and Tyler Cornell in the big blind.
The flop came 8♠8♣K♣ and Lehr continued for 50,000, a bet that only Vuilleumier called. The turn came the J♥ and Lehr checked this time.
Vuilleumier now bet 83,000 and Lehr called to see the 3♦ river. Lehr checked once again and Vuilleumier stuck out 320,000.
Lehr used three time bank cards and spent several moments shaking his head and shuffling his chips before sticking them in the middle. He showed A♠A♣ and Vuilleumeier flashed KxJx before mucking.
"I mean, I know he's not bluffing," Lehr said following the hand as he became the first player to breach the 2,000,000 chip barrier.
