Steve Leonard Crippled, Then Eliminated

[user75032]

Steve Leonard eliminated.

Steve Leonard tried to make a move up the counts with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

, calling the all-in raise of a player behind him. Unfortunately for Leonard, that player turned over {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

. As has happened several other times today, kings held up against Big Slick. An ace was nowhere to be found on a board of {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

.

The next hand, Leonard called all in from the big blind after action folded to the small blind, who raised. The small blind didn't have much of a hand -- just {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

against Leonard's {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

. Leonard was in prime position to double after the first four cards came {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

, but an unfortunate {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

spiked on the river to send Leonard crashing out of the tournament.
