Lee Fights Back

Nível 43 : Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante

Joseph Roh, who has been setting the pace of the final table up until now, opened the button to 8,000,000 and after confirming the bet size, Denny Lee kicked it up to an even 30,000,000.

Roh snapped his cards a couple times, looking at them but they weren't quite enough to continue and he pushed his hand in the muck

William Fisher Eliminate in 5th Place ($105,890)

Nível 43 : Blinds 2,000,000/4,000,000, 4,000,000 ante

William Fisher went all in for 41,200,000 and was isolated by Joseph Roh, who has been on quite the heater.

William Fisher: A♥J♠
Joseph Roh: K♣K♠

The flop diminished Fisher's outs when it fanned out 2♣10♣8♣, as Roh picked up a flush draw with his pair of kings. The turn bricked the 5♦ and the Q♦ was of no help to Fisher on the river.

Min Sung Lee Eliminated in 7th place ($62,450)

Nível 42 : Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante

Min Sung Lee went all in and was called by Joseph Roh, the chip leader.

Min Sung Lee: A♠9♣
Joseph Roh: 2♣2♥

The flop scrolled across 9♠2♠5♦, a real tease for Lee as he had top pair but Roh was already up out of his seat and clapping his hands as he made a set of deuces.

The turn dashed Lee's hopes with the K♣ and the 9♦ on the river was just a further needle when Roh made a full house.

Action folded around to Lucas Tae who moved all in for his last 21,600,000 from the button. Logan Moon folded in the small blind and Denny Lee said "Let's go buddy" before sticking in the call from the big blind to put Tae at risk.

Lucas Tae: J♥10♥
Denny Lee: A♠Q♥

Both players caught a piece of the Q♦J♦4♥ flop. Lee caught the better of it with top pair and held on the 7♠ turn and A♥ river to send Tae to the rail and take the chip lead.
