Juyeol Lee Eliminated in 45th Place by Ankit Ahuja

Level 19: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

After a flop of 9 8 2, Ankit Ahuja bets 70,000 from the big blind, Juyeol Lee moves all in from the hijack for 382,000, and Ahuja waits for an exact count before he calls with A 9 for a pair of nines.


Lee turns over A J for ace high, and needs to improve to stay alive.


The turn card is the K, the river card is the 4, and Ahuja wins the pot with his pair of nines to eliminate Lee in 45th place.

Juyeol Lee Enters A Full Orbit

Level 17: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000
Juyeol Lee

Juyeol Lee has been on attack mode for nearly an orbit. Facing a raise from the button Kevin Ewald, he drops two chips in from the small blind and attempts to take one back but it's binding so he is forced to three-bet. Action goes back to Ewald who calls. At the flop T 7 5 , Lee checks, Ewald shoves and drags in the pot while showing Lee A 7 .


Next hand, Lee three-bet shoves on the button on top of Shmuel Bechor's raise then wins with no callers. Repeat action at cutoff, Lee shoves 282,000 to push out raiser Dominik Nitsche from the pot.


Still feeling feisty, Lee loses 20,000 on the next hand by calling a raise then folding at the flop but makes up for it by shoving on the next two hands to collect the blinds and ante.


Still not done, Lee opens from under the gun and big blind Ewald calls. At the flop Q Q A , Lee continues for 18,000 and wins the pot again.


On the eighth consecutive hand, Lee three-bets 75,000 from the big blind and raiser Dominik Nitsche calls. They proceed to check to the turn J Q J Q where Nitsche bets 125,000 and wins the pot with Lee folding
