Canadian Pro Mike Leah has been killing it over the past two years, with second place finishes in the 2015 WPT L.A Poker Classic and Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open Main Event and a win in the World Series of Poker APAC $25,000 High Roller adding up to more than $2 million in live tournament earnings.
Now he's enjoying a little of the local hospitality in Quebec, one province over from his Ontario home.
Especially the part where one local paid him off with a set, failed to push him off top-pair top-kicker and eventually shipped it into his tens with a weak ace that failed to improve.
As a result, Leah finds himself among the leaders.
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada's Sheraz Nasir finished 10th at the partypoker.net WPT Montreal main event the last time the WPT was here at Playground this past November.
Today he's back at it again and building a contending stack. Nasir picked up an early pot with aces, then stacked one opponent who shoved aces of his own into his flopped set of sixes.
As a result, Nasir now trails only chipleader Marc-Etienne McLaughlin at the top of the counts.
On Episode 11 of the Remko Report, Dong Kim joined Remko Rinkema in Seoul, South Korea, to talk about the local culture, competing against the best heads-up players in the world, and much more.
2014 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Showdown champ Eric Afriat called the clock on Boston's Tim Reilly as he pondered a post-river bet.
Reilly promptly shoved and Afriat called. Reilly then showed the nut flush and while he pushed up close to the top of the chip counts, Afriat mucked and hit the rail.
