Pearson Hits the Rail
Travis Pearson was all in preflop for around 350,000 with 
against the 
of Mike Leah, who had about the same amount of chips. The pot was worth around 750,000 and Leah was in a dominating position. The 
flop changed nothing and neither did the 
flop. Pearson needed a jack to stay alive but the river was the 
. Leah improved to a straight to take down the pot and increase his stack to 750,000 while Pearson was eliminated from the tournament.
