Kwon:
Sung:

We joined the action on a flop just as David Chiu was check-raising Toto Leonidas, and both players put in two bets going to the turn. Chiu bet out, and this time Leonidas stuck in the raise. Chiu promptly three-bet it, and Leonidas flat-called the extra full bet.
That brought them to the river, and Chiu fired a bet in the dark. Leonidas had just 7,000 chips left, and he elected to fold away his cards and save that bet for a better spot.
Leonidas found his spot to get those 7,000 chips into the pot one hand later, but he was unable to survive his all in, ending his day just a few spots shy of the money.
Todd Barlow was down to just one lonely orange T1,000 chip after calling a raise and folding one hand ago. That last chip went into this most recent pot with Barlow, and he wouldn't get it back. Barlow lost his final hand, and he has been knocked off shy of a payday.
