Soohyeok Lee jammed his last 905,000 out of hijack and massive chip leader Lin Wei Kai called on the big blind. 

Soohyeok Lee: A ♥️ J ♦️

Lin Wei Kai: Js: 6 ♦️

Lee was ahead with top kicker but with the board running 3 ♠️ 3 ♥️ 2 ♠️ 4 ♥️, he sweated it with a draw for Lin. The river 4 ♦️ was a sigh of relief for Lee as he collected a much needed double up.
