De Leon Just a Paper Tiger Now

[user66118]

Christian de Leon

A player in middle position limped into the pot, and the small blind followed suit by completing. In the big blind, Christian de Leon shoved all in for 7,300 total. The middle-position player made the call, and the small blind ducked out to put de Leon heads up for his tournament life.

Showdown
Limper: {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

de Leon:

{A-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

The flop was, well, unkind to the at-risk Team PokerStars Pro. It came out {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

to give his opponent the straight and leave him drawing dead to a running miracle. The {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

on the turn ended the hand right there, and a meaningless {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

is the last river card de Leon will see today. He's been eliminated.
