(UTG is S1, BB is s8) Johan Lees opens from the cutoff and is called by Azim Popatia on the button before Antoine Sankari three-bets to 280,000 from the small blind. Zachary Fischer four-bets to 700,000 from the big blind, Lees moves all in for a bit more than 2,500,000, Popatia and Sankari get out of the way and Fischer calls with a covering stack to put Lees at risk in a chip lead pot.
