Early Double Up for Lee
Munkh Erdene Ganbold opened for 300 and got a three-bet from Manh Tuan Nguyen from cut-off to 900. Seoha Lee on the button, however, decided to four-bet to 2,600. Ganbold not able to handle the escalating pressure, decided to fold his hand.
Not to be pushed out, Nguyen re-raised to 7,200 at which point Lee, at risk, shoved all-in. With a slight shake of the head, Nguyen made the call.
Seoha Lee: K♥ K♣
Manh Tuan Nguyen: A♦ K♠
Lee's kings held with a flop of 2♠ 5♥ 9♠ but as there are two streets left, Nguyen could hope for an Ace or backdoor straight or flush for the win.
The 4♥ gave Nguyen more hope but with the 6♣ river, the kings held and Lee scooped the pot.
