Lee is the New Chip Leader
Level 30
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Niall Campbell raised to 255,000 from middle position with only Steven Lee calling from the cutoff.
The dealer fanned out the flop of 5?J?A? and Campbell decided to check. Lee bet 250,000 and was met by a check-raise to 750,000 by Campbell. Lee called to see a turn.
Campbell shoved for Lee's remaining 1,750,000 on the 6? turn, and Lee called.
Steven Lee: A?J? 
Niall Campbell; A?5?
A brutal flop saw both players flop two pair, but it was Lee who was ahead with top two pair, and just had to avoid a five on the river to become the chip leader of the Main Event.
