Lee Doubles Through James
Level 19
: Blinds 0/0, 12,000 ante
Robert James opened to 60,000 from the cutoff and Wai Kiat Lee made the call from the button.
The flop came 10♦9♥7♥. James checked, Lee bet 95,000 and James moved all in with a covering stack. Lee quickly made the call and was at risk.
Wai Kiat Lee: 9♣9♦
Robert James: J♥J♠
James' overpair was far behind Lee's flopped set but he still had outs in the form of a jack or an eight. He did not get what he needed on the Q♣ turn or 10♠ river and Lee collected a full double up.
