Although we didn't have any Full Tilt pros in the field today, you can bet that there will be plenty of them showing up at the next World Series of Poker Circuit event in Hammond. Why there and not here? Well, the WSOP-C Hammond stop marks the first of the $10,000 Regional Championship events and it's going to be a great tournament.

"I'm going to fold against my better judgment," Leonard said as he tossed his cards into the muck, keeping his stack around 22,000. It turned out to be the right move as the cutoff showed for a flopped set. "Nice hand," Leonard stated as he rapped the table.
