Lee Squeezes, Then Gets There
A player lit the blue touch paper with an under-the-gun open to 900 with Japan��s Hiromitsu Katsumi making the call from the hi-jack and Malaysia's Wai Kiat Lee coming along from the small blind to take the action three-way to a flop of 
.
Lee checked the action over to the original raiser, who didn��t seem all that keen on it and checked it over to Katsumi. The Japanese player liked it fine and fired for 1,200, only to see Lee check-raise squeeze to 3,700 in total.
That was enough to get the original raiser to give it up, but not Katsumi, who made the call to take the action heads-up to the 
turn, completing a possible straight.
Lee took his time about it before deciding the right amount to bet was a tickly little 2,800 and action was on Katsumi, who quickly announced raise and made it 5,600 to go.
Lee was a lot quicker to act this time, immediately jamming for 12,450 in total and Katsumi now had a decision to make. He chose to call and the cards were turned over.
Wai Kiat Lee: 
Hiromitsu Katsumi: 
While Lee was making a cheeky squeeze play with second pair on the flop he had improved to two pairs and was now leading Katsumi��s ace-queen and the 
river improved Lee��s hand further. Lee climbed to 25,350 after that timely catch while Katsumi dropped down to 6,400.
