Lee Finds a Double Near the Bubble
Level 15
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Robert Kokoska opened to 10,000 from under the gun and received calls from Selahaddin Bedir from early position and Jin-Hoon Lee in the big blind.
The flop came K♦Q♠7♣ and action checked around to Bedir who bet 13,000. Lee moved all in for 53,500, folding out Kokoska while Bedir made the call with a covering stack to put Lee at risk.
Jin-Hoon Lee: K♣6♥
Selahaddin Bedir: A♣J♥
Lee was ahead with top pair but needed to fade Bedir who had a gutshot and live ace. The 2♣ turn and 3♥ were clean and Lee secured a full double up approximately 20 spots away from the money.
At the same table, Wing Po Liu has been building a massive stack and is currently sitting at over 500,000 in chips.
