Tough Way to Lee-ve

Bernard Bids Adieu

Bernard Lee has taken some tough beats in his professional career but this one ranks as one of the worst.

Blinds: 1.5k/3k

Bernard Lee 80k
Ali Soleimanlou 110k

Soleimanlou opens to 12k
Lee reraises all in to 80k
Soleimanlou snap calls

Lee: Q♠  Q♣ (leads with pair of queens)
Soleimanlou: A Q

Flop: 7♣ 3♣ 3
Turn: 4♣
River: A

After a players says he folded the A♠, Soleimanlou was drawing to just one ace in the deck as the A♣ would have given Lee a winning flush.

The one-outer gives Soleimanlou a pair of aces to win the hand and knock out Lee. 

"It's a bad beat for me, but we're here to Put a Bad Beat on Hunger, says Lee, who finished 12th in this event last year, "and am glad to help raise a lot of money for the FoodBank," says Lee.

Soleimanlou now has close to 200k and has knocked out two of the three pros in Lee and Roy Winston.
