Lech’s Jacks Deliver Knockout Blow
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
WSOP bracelet winner Michael Lech raised 4,000 in early position and received a call from a player in middle position.
The player in the big blind then three-bet to 30,000, only to see Lech, who had his opponent covered, four-bet all in. The player in middle position folded and the player in the big blind called to put his tournament life on the line.
Opponent: 9♠9♥
Michael Lech: J♥J♠
The dealer fanned out K♦5♥K♠, prompting Lech’s opponent to stand and gather his belongings. The turn showed 4♣ and the river brought 4♥ to officially send the player to rail, as the dealer pushed the pot to Lech.
