Double Up Jay Lee

Josh Kay raises to 450,000 from the button and Jay Lee (pictured) calls from the big blind.

The flop falls Spade 8Diamond 2Spade 5 and Lee checks to Kay who bets 525,000. Lee opts for a check-raise amounting to 1,400,000 and Kay responds by moving all in for over 14 million.

Lee removes his hoodie and immediately throws in all of his six remaining time extension buttons to give him an additional three minutes to think.

With 6,675,000 behind, Lee decides to call after less then a minute in the tank to be at-risk for 8,075,000 in total.

Kay: Spade JSpade 2

Lee was all in for his tournament life holding a flush draw and two live pair outs while Kay was currently in the lead with bottom pair and a weaker flush draw.

The dealer delivered the Spade 10 on the turn to immediately send Lee and his rail into a frenzy before the Heart 9 completes the board on the river and ensures Lee of his double up.

Jay Lee – 17,225,000
Josh Kay – 6,225,000
Jeb Hutton – 4,150,000
