Look out for Mike, eh?

Mike "GoLeafsGoEh" Leah (sporting a fancy new haircut) is on a charge to the top, and we just found him mixed up in another big pot. We join it on the flop with three-way action. The board shows {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. The man first to act checks, and Mike Leah bets out 2,200. The lady to his left calls, as does the other opponent.

The turn brings the {2-Spades}. Again, Leah takes the lead with a bet of 7,000. This time, the lady goes into the tank for a couple of minutes before moving all in for a total of 22,575. Action is now on the man in early position, and he opts to call. Not to be outdone, Leah moves all in with his big stack and is quickly called, putting two players at risk of elimination.

Showdown:
Leah: {6-Clubs} {6-Spades}
Man: {A-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}
Lady: {K-Hearts} {10-Spades}

Leah is well ahead, but both all-in players have outs. The river is a blank though, the {7-Hearts}, and Leah collects the big pot. He has knocked out two more players, and he is sitting tall now on a stack of 137,000!
