Muthu Takes Commanding Lead
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
While Peter Plater and Yo Seb Rhee sat back, it was once again up to Sathesh Muthu and Hermann Lee to provide the action at the table with four players remaining. In a battle of the blinds, Muthu check-raised the 
flop from 28,000 to 80,000 and Lee called.
The 
fell on the turn and Muthu bet 150,000, which Lee called before the 
river completed the board. Muthu made it 275,000 to go and then leaned down to hide his face behind the arms. Lee needed both his remaining two time-bank chips to make up his mind. The clock ticked down and Lee let go.
