Scotty Reid Finds Optimal Spot But Alex Lee Spikes a Snowman

Mai Nguyen opens to 9,000 from the hijack and Alex Lee puts in a three-bet of 26,000 on the button. Scotty Reid jams for slightly more with his 30,000 stack, and Nguyen folds to Lee who calls.

Alex Lee:

Reid has a firm grasp on the hand but the flop favors Lee who slaps a snowman and takes the lead. The brings some split-outs for Reid but he misses everything when a lands on the river.

Lee pulls in the pot with his flopped eight and Reid takes an exit late on Day 1C.

Alex Lee – 260,000 (65 bb)
Scotty Reid – Eliminated
