Chips Changing Hands

We pick up a growing pot between Captain Tom Franklin and the man to his left, chip leader Mike "GoLeafsGoEh" Leah. In this battle of the blinds, the two men watched the flop come out {4-Spades} {7-Spades} {9-Spades}, and Franklin check-called a bet.

Fourth street brought the {A-Hearts}. "This is my last check," said Franklin, as he tapped the table. Leah seized the opportunity to bet 7,000. After a moment, Franklin put out a check-raise to 22,000, and Leah wasted little time calling.

The last card off was the {7-Hearts}. Captain Tom kept the heat on with a bet of 25,000. Leah sighed and sat fidgeting while he contemplated his decision. Finally, and very quietly came an, "I call," from the Canuck.

Showdown:
Franklin: {K-Spades} {10-Spades}
Leah: MUCK

After finding a pretty decent flop for his suited high cards, Captain Tom has dragged in a rather large pot, moving him up over the century mark with just under 110,000. Leah, meanwhile, has relinquished the chip lead, and he has slipped back to 139,000.
