Lee Shows Monden The Exit

Level 2: 100 / 200 ante: 200

Hyeong Lee

Hyeong Lee raised to 600 from under the gun and was called by Takumi Monden on the button and Prommin Talordpong on the small blind.

All three were shown a flop of J♥ T♠ 4♥ where the action checked to Lee, who fired 1,100 into the pot. Monden called and Talordpong stood down.

Both players saw the 7♣ on the turn. Lee led out for 2,100 and Monden raised to 10,000. Lee thought it over and made the call.

The 7♠ dropped on the river and Lee checked, before Monden shoved all in for 27,400. Lee did some inventory of his stack and realized he had Monden covered, but would be left with literally just a crumb if he lost the pot.

While Lee was pondering over the decision, the rest of the field were starting their break and emptying out the tables with just Lee and Monden left in a quiet confrontation.

Eventually, Lee made the call. Monden showed Q♣ 8♣ for a busted straight draw with queen-high, while Lee turned over Q♦ Q♠ for a pair of queens. Lee's brave call earned him a big pot, and eliminated Monden right at the break.
