Leitch Gets a Triple
Level 12
: 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Steve Wilkie open-limped under the gun and saw Sherman Wu follow suit in the hijack. as action folded around to Brian Leitch in the big blind.
"All right, let's do this!" said Leitch as he went all in for 23,000. Both Wilkie and Wu called and then checked the flop 
to bring the turn 
, where Wilkie reached for chips.
"Don't do it!" pleaded Wu unsuccessfully as Wilkie bet 20,000. Wu called and then action checked through the river 
to take the hand to showdown.
Brian Leitch: 
Steve Wilkie: 
Sherman Wu: 
Leitch's ace was best and scored him the triple just before the final break of the night with Wilkie taking the side pot and leaving Wu with just a handful of blinds left in his stack.
