Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Rick Leonard
Rick Leonard

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♣ All in
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.

His opponent showed Q♦9♦ for trips, but Davey had 6♣5♣ for a flush. "I didn't even see the flush," his opponent lamented as Davey raked in another big pot.
