Bernard Lee Eliminated in 2nd Place ($55,086)
Bernard Lee, who was the start-of-day and long-standing chip leader, three-bet all in over an open to 100,000 from Frank Kassela.

This marks the third top-ten finish for Lee in a 2-7 event and likely the most heartbreaking result. He collected $55,086 as a consolation prize.
