Leone Takes from Kent, Crosses 1 Million

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With a big pot growing in the middle and {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades} on the board, Raymond Leone bet 45,000 and Brian Kent called.

Leone let out a "oooh!" as Kent tossed the calling chips and the turn was {10-Hearts}.

Leone checked the turn and Kent bet 25,000.

"The 25,000 makes me more nervous than 100,000!" Leone said as he check-called. The river was {2-Clubs}.

Both players checked through and Leone turned over {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades} for a pair of aces. Kent tossed the losing hand in the muck and Leone took the pot to cross 1,000,000 chips.
