Bernard Lee Doubles Up with Queen High

With the board reading {10-Clubs} {9-Spades} {6-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} on the turn, Bernard Lee moved all in for 6,500, sending Shawn Cunix into the tank.

"I know I'm behind, but I have to call" said Cunix. He turned over {5-Clubs} {7-Clubs} for an open-ended straight draw.

"I can't believe I'm in the lead!" cried Lee, tabling the {Q-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}.

The river was the {2-Diamonds} and Lee won the pot with only queen high.

"Oh my God" he said, taking a mini-bow. "I need to give that guy a hug!" Lee made good on his promise and darted around the table to embrace Cunix.

Lee doubled up to 25,000 on the hand, but Cunix isn't hurting in the least. He's still sitting on 142,000 and is the current chip leader.
