Lech’s Jacks Deliver Knockout Blow
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
WSOP bracelet winner Michael Lech raised 4,000 in early position and received a call from a player in middle position.
The player in the big blind then three-bet to 30,000, only to see Lech, who had his opponent covered, four-bet all in. The player in middle position folded and the player in the big blind called to put his tournament life on the line.
Opponent: 9?9?
Michael Lech: J?J?
The dealer fanned out K?5?K?, prompting Lech’s opponent to stand and gather his belongings. The turn showed 4? and the river brought 4? to officially send the player to rail, as the dealer pushed the pot to Lech.
