Big Hands for Worthington-Leese
Leonard Maue opened to 100,000 in the cutoff with A♦Xx and Jason Wheeler three-bet to 375,000 on the button with 8♣8♦. Leo Worthington-Leese four-bet jammed all in for 3,785,000 in the small blind with Q♥Q♣. Maue quickly folded whereas Wheeler use a time extension before letting his hand go.
Two hands later, Worthington-Leese raised to 100,000 in the cutoff with K♠K♦ and Maduka Meragal called on the button with A♥7♥. Maue also came along from the big blind with 9♥Xx and the flop of A♠10♠9♠ hit the felt.
Worthington-Leese continued with a bet of 90,000 and both players called. The 3♠ peeled off on the turn and Worthington-Leese sized up a bet of 285,000 after making the nut flush. Meragal got out of the way but Maue stuck around for the 4♦ on the river.
Maue checked again and Worthington-Leese reached back for a bet of 715,000. Maue sighed and nodded his head as he was forced to send his cards to the muck.
