Lee Flops the World to Leave Alioto With Crumbs

David Salituro

Niveau 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The heads-up match has been all Hokyiu Lee so far, and it continued when Dario Alioto limped in with 10♠8♦7♦7♣ and Lee checked K♥9♠9♣2♥.

It was a dream flop for Lee as the dealer turned over 9♦9♥3♦, giving him quad nines. Both players checked and Lee then bet 200,000 on the 3♠ turn.

Alioto called to the 6♥ river, where Lee bet another 600,000. Alioto again called and surrendered the pot, dropping down to around 10 big blinds.
