Leah's Kicker is Good

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

We arrived at the table with a pot of 800 and three players seeing a turn of {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. It was checked to Mike Leah in late position who bet 250 and was called by one player.

The river was the {6-Clubs} and both players checked. Leah's opponent turned over {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} but Leah was just a bit better with his {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Leah had a remarkable 2014 with winnings of more than $2.1 million and is looking to get off on the right foot in 2015.

Elias Shoves Early

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Picking up the action after a flop of {8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} with 2,500 in the pot, Darren Elias bet 1,400 from the small blind. Chane Kampanatsanyakorn called from the hijack, the {10-Hearts} landed on the turn and Elias checked to Kampanatsanyakorn who bet 2,300.

After a few moments, Elias check-raised to 7,300. Kampanatsanyakorn tanked for about 90 seconds before he called to see the {J-Clubs} river. Elias shoved for about 18,000, resulting in a fold from Kampanatsanyakorn.

Small Hit to Cody

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Jake Cody and an opponent looked down at a flop of {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. With about 1,700 already in the middle, action checked over to Cody who fired out 950. His opponent called and the {K-Diamonds} fell on fourth street. Two checks allowed the {8-Clubs} to finish the board and suddenly Cody was faced with a bet of 1,200 from his opponent.

Cody opted to kick his cards into the muck and his stack fell to about 31,500.

Hunichen Can't Beat Top Two

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

In a three-bet pot, Chris Hunichen was on the button and called 800 from a player in the big blind on a {q-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop. The player fired again for 1,200 on the {10-Hearts} turn, and Hunichen raised to 3,000. His opponent called, and both players checked the {10-Diamonds} river.

"Ace-king," the big blind said, turning over {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. Hunichen couldn't beat it.
