Leonard Puts in All the Chips
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action was picked up on a flop of 8♦6♦K♦. Edward Leonard, who won his seat through a $50 online qualifier at Pokerstars.com, checked to his opponent on the button who put out a bet of 10,000. Leonard called.
The turn brought a J♠ and action quickly checked through to a Q♠ river.
Leonard sat in the tank for a moment before sliding some chips forward and announcing "all in."
His opponent on the button didn't think for long before mucking.
Leonard continued his run-good on his way to spinning a $50 online ticket into a big payday.

Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On the latest PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Connor Richards welcome Matt Hansen as a new co-host of the show. Matt has been doing a lot of work behind the scenes for PokerNews, and now we're putting a microphone in front of him to draw on his deep knowledge of the industry and get some of his hot takes.
That included his thoughts on the WSOP Paradise schedule, a poker player's yacht burning in the Mediterranean, and Ben Mintz returning to BarStool after Dave Portnoy bought back the company.
Chad then chats with this week's guest, Lukas "RobinPoker" Robinson, the new PokerNews Online Poker Ambassador. He talks about playing 1,000 hours of poker in 100 days, playing the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event alongside his father, and how listeners can have a chance at a $10,000 seat in December's World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship at Wynn thanks to a special promotion in conjunction with WPT Global.
Listen to those stories and more on the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!

Marin Makes Great Call...Twice
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The action was opened under the gun to 1,500. A player in late position called. Then Nikita Marin called in the small blind and the big blind also came along. The players were off to a flop four ways.
The 7♣Q♣4♥ landed and action checked to the original raiser under the gun who bet 2,500. Late position folded, Marin called, and the big blind folded.
The turn brought a 9♦ and Marin checked it over to the original raiser who bet 5,000. Marin went into the tank for a moment before calling.
The river brought a 3♦ and action quickly checked through.
"I have a four," Marin said as he tabled 4♠5♠.
The under the gun player shook his head and mucked. Marin scooped a nice pot after a great call on the flop and turn.
