Leonard Wakes Up With Aces

Level 13 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Edward Leonard

Joseph Cheong opened to 8,000 from the lojack and the cutoff three-bet to 24,000. The button then four-bet jammed a stack of 126,000 and the action folded to BetMGM Poker qualifier Edward Leonard from the big blind, who cold-five-bet jammed with the biggest stack at the table. Cheong and the cutoff both quickly folded.

Button: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Edward Leonard: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

It was a good time for Leonard to wake up with aces and his hand held up to eliminate the opponent when the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.
