King High For Leah

Mike Leah raised and the player in the big blind called. The flop brought out {4-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{9-Spades} and the big blind check-called Leah's bet.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and both players checked. On the river the {7-Clubs} hit and the big blind bet, Leah called.

"I missed," the big blind said, as he showed {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

Leah tabled {K-Spades}{J-Clubs} and he raked in this pot.

Last Man Entering: Paul Volpe

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Late registration for this event is now closed and the clock shows 122 entrants. Paul Volpe was the very last player to enter this event and we spotted him at a table with Eric Froehlich and Jeff Shulman.

"I had nothing better to do," Volpe joked as he stated he was having a good time already. Volpe's up to 39,000 in the early goings as the bets are really starting to count from this point on.

One Hand For Hennigan

Level 7 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Under no circumstance was John Hennigan going to miss this $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship, that much we known after just seeing him sit down. Hennigan's still going strong for the $50,000 Players' Championship title, but he also registered for this event.

Hennigan played what looked like one hand before he had to make his way back to the final table. You can follow that coverage right here, as he battles it out versus Jesse Martin and Brandon Shack-Harris.
