Tanking Pays Off

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Just a few levels earlier, when the table complained about how long Hokyiu Lee was taking to act, he passionately defended his lengthy tank with the pay jump.

That conversation resurfaced moments later when Lee found himself again in an all-in showdown of his own, this time against Cordell Schroeder, who was at risk.

Cordell Schroeder: A♥K♣Q♦6♦ All in
Hokyiu Lee: A♠Q♠10♦5♠

The board ran J♠4♦K♥5♦5♥. Lee rivered trips, which boosted his chips. As Schroeder spoke with the floor about his payout, Pantaleo reminded Lee that had Schroeder tanked as long as him, he likely would have made the pay jump.
