A Double Here, a Double There

Toto Leonidas

On tables at opposite ends of the room, Toto Leonidas and Antonio Esfandiari each doubled up an opponent. Leonidas called a shorty's all-in with {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{9-Spades}

on a board of {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

; his opponent showed {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

for a set of fives that held up through the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

turn and

{6-Diamonds}

river. It was only a hit of 20,700 for Leonidas; he still has about 124,000.

A few minutes later, chip leader Antonio Esfandiari bet 23,000 on a flop of {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

. His opponent moved in for 40,800 total and was quickly called by Esfandiari. They were both on draws; Esfandiari had the inferior hand with {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

against his opponent's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

. The

{A-Spades}

on the turn meant that Esfandiari could only chop the pot; he lost it all when the river blanked {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

.

Don't cry for Antonio. He still leads the field with approximately 400,000 chips.
