Lee's Stack Vanishes in Two Consecutive Hands

Level 4 : 300/600, 600 ante
Hun Wei Lee
Hun Wei Lee

On the tail end of a hand between Vincent Huang and Hun Wei Lee, the former bet the {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades} river for a big portion of the 9,000 pot and Lee opted to raise big to 21,600. Huang called after some consideration and was shown {a-Spades}{6-Hearts} for an ace-high bluff, which he had beat with {k-Spades}{j-Hearts} for top pair.

In the very next hand, Mladen Vukovic opened to 1,500 and Lee three-bet to 4,100 out of a stack of around 25,000. Vukovic pushed all in and Lee called.

Hun Wei Lee: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Mladen Vukovic: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}

The {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop left Lee in desperate shape and it was all over after the {10-Diamonds} turn, the {8-Clubs} river for quads was the cherry on top for Vukovic.
