Leonard Talks McEathron Into Talking
Ludovic Geilich got up from the table and whispered in our ear that an interesting hand was being played over on his table. Geilich said Leonard had at least 
and was talking his opponent into calling, a player that for sure had 
according to Geilich. He later told us the entire hand.
Leonard had opened from early position to 1,200 and Ryan McEathron had called right behind him. Leonard had double checked his cards on 
and checked. McEathron bet 1,500 and Leonard had made the call.
Both players had checked the 
on the turn and now the 
completed the board. Leonard pushed all in for effectively 15,000 or so and the decision was on McEathron.
The Canadian player seemingly was leaning towards a fold, but Leonard talked him out of it. At one point the clock was called and eventually McEathron called for his tournament life. Leonard showed for a full house and McEathron folded what indeed was 
as Geilich had "predicted".
Geilich himself is playing 42,000, just above average.
