Lee Busts Kavrakov to Re-take Lead
Despite the fact that Wai Kiat Lee and Michael Soyza are sitting at opposite ends of the card room there seems to be some sort of one-upmanship competition between the pair. Play had not long resumed after the break before Lee went one better than Soyza to re-take the lead once more.
It was Bulgaria��s Atanas Kavrakov who was the instigator of his own demise, moving all-in from the cutoff for 67,000. Hong Kong��s Ben Lai asked for a count and then smooth-called the button before the deep-stacked Lee dropped down eight bright pink 25,000-chips for a re-raise of 200,000, effectively putting Lai all-in.
��Mmmmm, smells like jacks to me,�� said Lai, trying to get a read of Lee, who sat there with a cheeky grin on his face.
��Ok, I��ll give you some respect.�� Said Lai as he tossed his hand into the muck. Lai was pretty close with his guesswork, and Lee rolled over 
, which was leading Kavrakov��s 
.
The 
flop brought a groan from Lai.
��Ace-queen?�� queried Victor Chong. Lai nodded his head sadly. The [
turn saw the Hong Kong player sink further down in his chair and the 
river brought KAvrakov��s tournament to a close while Lee stacked up to 830,000 in chips and while Lai has close to 200,000 he is ruing the fact he missed a juicy double up there.
