Hun Wei Lee Wins 2020 World Series of Poker Online $1,050 Pot-Limit Omaha Bounty Event

Hun Wei Lee outlasted a field of 971 total entries in the 2020 World Series of Poker Online $1,050 pot-limit Omaha bounty event to earn his first gold bracelet and a total of $161,886 in earnings, with bounties included. The Australian resident is no stranger to playing tournament Omaha for high stakes. Earlier this year he finished as the runner-up in the $25,000 AUD pot-limit Omaha high roller at the Aussie Millions for $205,178. Now Lee has a WSOP bracelet to go along with his seven figures in live tournament earnings.

The strong turnout in this event built a prize pool of $971,000. The top 134 finishers made the money, with a min-cash being worth $1,196. Plenty of notables made deep runs in this event, including WSOP and World Poker Tour champion Mike Leah (84th – $1,393), Chris Hunichen (41st – $1,891), Farid Jattin (42nd – $1,891), Sorel Mizzi (41st – $1,891), and 2017 PokerStars Championship Barcelona main event winner Ronny Kaiser (14th – $3,236).

Paul Teoh held the chip lead when the nine-handed final table was set, with Lee sitting in fourth chip position. Craig Timmis scored the first four knockouts of the final table, knocking out all of the shortest-stacked players to climb into third chip position with five players remaining.

During short-handed play Lee began to pull away from the pack. He expanded his lead even further by knocking out Paul Teoh. The two players got all of the chips in preflop with Teoh holding AKK3 up against the A952 of Lee. The board came down 1063J4 and Lee rivered a straight to eliminate Teoh in fifth place. He cashed for a total of $37,038 including bounties.

Bradley Ruben was the next to fall. He got all in on a K87 flop with K765 for top and bottom pair with an open-ended straight draw. He was up against the Q883 of Lee, who had flopped middle set. The turn and river brought none of Ruben’s outs and he was eliminated in fourth place ($39,472).

With that Lee took a massive lead into three-handed action, with nearly three times as many chips as the next largest stack. He grew his stack even further by eliminating the early knockout specialist of the final table, Craig Timmis. The two got all-in after a Q65 flop. Lee held KQ42 for top pair and a gutshot straight draw. Timmis held J643 for middle pair and an open-ended straight draw. The turn brought the 9, which helped neither player. The K on the end gave Lee kings and queens to win the pot, Timmis earned $66,836 as the third-place finisher.

Lee began heads-up play with roughly a 5:1 chip lead over Janne Peltoniemi. It took only a few minutes for him to convert that lead into a title. Peltoniemi’s last 10 big blinds went all-in preflop with K887. Lee held AJ1010. The A9325 runout secured the pot and the title for Lee. Peltoniemi was awarded $64,246 as the runner-up finisher.
