David Lee raised from the button to 1,000,000, and James Salmon called from the big blind.

The flop came 9c7s5c, Salmon bet 850,000, Lee moved all in, and Salmon quickly called all in for about 5,500,000 with Qc9d for a pair of nines.

But Lee turned over 10h10d, and Salmon needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the 2h, the river card was the 7c, and the pocket tens held up for Lee to win the pot and eliminate Salmon in fifth place.

David Lee  –  31,750,000  (64 bb)
