Lee Finally Overtakes All-Day Chip Leader Soyza
Wai Kiat Lee is the new chip-leader three-handed. While Phil Ivey appears to be taking somewhat of a back seat at this juncture, Lee and Michael Soyza have been tangling plenty. Most recently Soyza, with [Acjd], raised to 400,000 in the cutoff, called by Lee on the button with [KdJs].
Lee Evens the Stacks Further
Michael Soyza called 100,000 in the cutoff with [Acqc], then a further 300,000 after button Wai Kiat Lee raised, holding [JhTh]. The flop - [AsJcJs] - saw Soyza check-call a bet of 250,000. Both players checked the [Ks] turn, Soyza leading for 200,000 on the [8s] river. Lee just called
Lee Spikes His Ace to Double Through Soyza
Preflop, Wai Kiat Lee limped [Ah8h]. Michael Soyza raised to 500,000 holding [ThTd], making the call when Lee shipped his whole 2,500,000 stack in the middle. Lee flopped an ace, which stayed ahead over the [Jsac8sjhqh] runout, leaving him short stacked no longer. "I tried, Phil," said Soyza, of his attempt
Lee and Soyza Trade Pots
Wai Kiat Lee called preflop with [QsJh], folding to a button raise from Michael Soyza ([JcTs]). Immediately thereafter, cutoff Soyza called with [qc8d] and Lee checked his [9h9d]. Soyza check-called two streets having hit middle pair on a [Kc8s6h] flop, first 75,000 here and then 125,000 on the [Ks] turn.
“You’re Lucky to Have a Chop!”
So said Wai Kiat Lee after a dramatic all-in preflop runout. Lee had called with [QhQs], Ivey raising to 400,000 with [AcQc]. Lee moved all in for 2,030,000 and Ivey made the call. Ivey only flopped everything: [TcKcJd]. As the [8s] rolled out on the turn, Lee was looking for
Action First Hand Post Break
The players took a 10 minute break, and the first hand after the restart saw a decent pot head to Phil Ivey. He'd called the 80,000 first to act with [AhKs], and Wai Kat Lee checked his [9hTx]. Lee called over two streets - 150,000 on the [AdQh9d] flop, and
Soyza Repops Ivey
Hijack Michael Soyza called for 80,000 with [As8s], Lee came along for the ride, but button Phil Ivey, with [6c7c], raised to 380,000. Back to the chip leader, who, having none of it, simply set both of his opponents all in. No callers. Ivey did pick up [AdJd] and [AsKh] in
No One Wants to Take On Davies
Michael Soyza doesn't win every pot. Wai Kiat Lee saw a heads up limp-checked flop of [6cAd9h] (holding [Qs7h]) with cutoff Soyza (who held [Td6c]), raising to 280,000 to take it from the leader. He said he was rooting for Soyza the next hand, however, as Seth Davies raised to 650,000
Soyza Rivers Lee
It started with a limp-check, Michael Soyza calling in the cutoff with [9sTd] and button Wai Kiat Lee checking [KcTd]. The [ThTsJs] flop gave them both trips, but it was Soyza who would lead all three streets: 120,000 on the flop, 300,000 on the [Ah] turn and 650,000 on the
