Leonard Gets There on the River to Double
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Rick Leonard bet 5,000 from early position on a flop of 4♣3♠2♣, an opponent in middle position moved all in, and Leonard called.
Rick Leonard: J♣9♣
Opponent: Q♠Q♣
Leonard was on a flush draw and needed to improve against his opponents' two queens, but he missed the 9♥ turn. The river, though, brought the K♣ to give Leonard his flush and secure him the pot.
The middle-position player got up to leave the table, but a count of the chips showed she had Leonard's remaining 24,000 covered by just 1,000.
