Leffingwell Eliminates Tran to Take Chip Lead and Pulls $5,000 Bounty
Level 21
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Will Leffingwell opened to 10,000 from the hijack and was called by Lam Tran on the button and David Shaw in the big blind.
The flop came out 3♥J♥Q♦ and action checked to Tran who bet 160,000, which produced a fold from Shaw. Leffingwell then check-raised to 360,000 and Tran called to see the 4♠ on the turn.
Leffingwell fired for 450,000 and after some thought, Tran moved all in for around 1,100,000, which Leffingwell snap-called to put him at risk.
Lam Tran: A♥Q♠
Will Leffingwell: A♥Q♠
Only an ace could save Tran, but the river was the 10♥ and he headed to the payout desk while Leffingwell Scooped the huge pot to take the chip lead. He then walked up and drew a $5,000 bounty, no big deal.

Normand Scores Huge Double against Kendrick
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
After an open to 65,000 from Cord Garcia, Derek Normand three-bet to 208,000 and then Kevin Kendrick 4-bet jammed for around 1,000,000, covering Normand. Normand thought about it for a few seconds before he made the call to put himself at risk of elimination.
Derek Normand: J♥J♠
Kevin Kendrick: A♦K♠
An ace appeared right in the window, but luckily for Normand, a jack came right behind it on the A♠J♣9♥ flop to give him a huge lead.
The turn 3♠ left Kendrick drawing dead and the Q♦ completed the board to award Normand the huge double.
"Bet your heart sank when you saw that ace," a player commented.
"I had faith," Normand simply replied as he chipped up to 1,600,000.
